They are repeatedly interested in humans, spirits, and objects that move very fast; become airborne; and in some cases even travel into space. In Speed and Flight in Shakespeare, the first study of any kind on the subject, Steggle looks at how Shakespeare's language explores ideas of speed and flight, and what theatrical resources his plays use to represent these states. Shakespeare has, this book argues, an aesthetic of speed and flight. Featuring chapters on The Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Henry V, Macbeth and The Tempest, this study opens up a new field around the 'historical phenomenology' of early modern speed. Matthew Steggle is Professor of English at the University of Bristol, UK. His research interests include early modern literature and drama, with a particular focus on "historicized performance studies", and "acoustic approaches" to early modern drama. His publications include four monographs on early modern drama; editions of plays by Shakespeare, Jonson, and Brome; and dozens of scholarly articles and book chapters. Steggle is also Co-editor of the AHRC-funded Oxford Works of John Marston project, and of the Lost Plays Database. . 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aDrama 606 $aTheater$xHistory 606 $aStage management 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 606 $aDrama 606 $aTheatre History 606 $aTechnology and Stagecraft 606 $aTheatre and Performance Arts 615 0$aEuropean literature 615 0$aDrama. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aStage management. 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 615 14$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aDrama. 615 24$aTheatre History. 615 24$aTechnology and Stagecraft. 615 24$aTheatre and Performance Arts. 676 $a833.912 676 $a822.33 700 $aSteggle$b Matthew$0893655 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910523756203321 996 $aSpeed and Flight in Shakespeare$92594062 997 $aUNINA
