Shakespeare studies & criticism

This book argues that Shakespeare turned staging problems into opportunities for complex characterization by mobilizing the semiotic potential of playhouse architecture, stage space, gestures, stage properties, performance style and audience participation. These features of production result in allegorical projections of the characters' thoughts, in a way that reflects early modern fascination with the hidden workings of the human mind.

Reviews for Allegorising Thought on the Shakespearean Stage: The Discovery of the Mind

"""The grand and realized ambition of Allegorising Thought on the Shakespearean Stage is to ground allegory in the warp and weft of early modern theatrical practice. Distributed across the theatrical event, Shakespeare's mindful allegories are in Claire Gu ron's compelling account thickened, not thinned, by expansion."" -Paul Menzer, Mary Baldwin University"
