Description

Why do the Capulets bite their thumbs at the Montagues? Why do the Venetians spit upon Shylocks Jewish gaberdine? What is it about Volumnias act of kneeling that convinces Coriolanus not to assault the city of Rome? Shakespeares Body Language is a groundbreaking new study of Shakespearean drama, revealing the previously unseen history of how social tensions are found within the performance of gestures, and how such gestures are used as a powerful form of control to shame others within the body politic of early modern England. It offers startling new insights into the motivations behind gesticular performance and the effects of their staging. Featuring in-depth analyses of plays across Shakespeares career, this book explores how the playwrights understanding of shame and humiliation is rooted in performance anxiety and gender politics, explaining how theatrical gestures can create dramatic tension in a way that words alone cannot.
