Sinopsis

ShakespeareâÇÖs plays are fascinated by the problems of speed and flight. They are repeatedly interested in humans, spirits, and objects that move very fast, become airborne, and in some cases even travel into space. InáSpeed and Flight in Shakespeare, the first study of any kind on the subject, Steggle looks at how ShakespeareâÇÖs 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.á Featuring chapters onáThe Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer NightâÇÖs Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Henry V, MacbetháandáThe Tempest, this study opens up a new field around the âÇÖhistorical phenomenologyâÇÖ of early modern speed.á
