Description

Explore a new theoretical foundation for the presentist movement in Shakespeare studies with this scholarly work from Routledge. James O'Rourke provides a compelling rationale for why presentist readings of Shakespeare are not anachronistic, offering a fresh perspective on how these texts function in a modern context. By utilizing a Brechtian aesthetic of "naive surrealism" as a performative model for the early modern, urban, public theater, the author examines the relationship between Shakespeare's language and the stage. The book analyzes how nonillusionist performance devices and live audiences interact with the text. This volume is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in drama, theater history, and the evolving methodologies of Shakespearean criticism.
