Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book studies the theatre of William Shakespeare as it would have been experienced by audience members in the 1600s, a time before artificial lighting, complex stage sets, or intermissions. The author, a scholar of Renaissance literature, argues that scholars have neglected the physical circumstances of these plays and that this omission has left a significant gap in our understanding of Shakespeare's work. The author suggests that we cannot fully appreciate these plays without understanding the theatrical space they inhabited, including the 'heavens' that provided for staging celestial activity, the doors that allowed for off-stage characters to enter from the streets, the presence of instruments on stage which produced sound effects, and the lack of a curtain. This book provides a firsthand view of Shakespeare's stage and a reconstruction of what it must have been like to attend one of his performances. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333663605_0
