Embodied Cognition and Shakespeare's Theatre: The Early Modern Body-Mind (Routledge Studies in Shakespeare)

This collection considers issues that have emerged in Early Modern Studies in the past fifteen years relating to understandings of mind and body in Shakespeare's world. The essays examine Shakespeare's theatre in terms of an early modern 'body-mind, ' covering histories of cognition, studies of early modern stage practices, textual studies, and historical phenomenology, as well as new cultural histories. Shakespeare and his contemporaries are understood in terms of the interrelation between bodily parts and cognitive processes, based on early modern beliefs in the embodiment of cognition.
