Through close reading and careful analysis Weimann offers a reconsideration and redefinition of Elizabethan performance and production practices. The study reviews the most recent methodologies of textual scholarship, the new history of the Elizabethan theatre, performance theory, and film and video interpretation, and offers a new approach to understanding Shakespeare. Weimann examines a range of plays including Hamlet, Troilus and Cressida, Henry V, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Macbeth, among others, as well as other contemporary works. A major part of the study explores the duality between playing and writing: the imaginary world-in-the-play and the visible, audible playing-in-the-world of the playhouse, and Weimann focuses especially on the gap between these two, between the so-called 'pen' and 'voice'. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Renaissance literature and culture ;$v39. 517 3 $aAuthor's Pen & Actor's Voice 606 $aTheater in literature 606 $aActing in literature 606 $aDrama$xTechnique 615 0$aTheater in literature. 615 0$aActing in literature. 615 0$aDrama$xTechnique. 676 $a822.3/3 700 $aWeimann$b Robert$0163891 702 $aHigbee$b Helen 702 $aWest$b William N. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455320003321 996 $aAuthor's pen and actor's voice$91903629 997 $aUNINA
