Shakespeare and the Power of Performance

Auteur: Weimann, Robert (University of California, Irvine)
Editeur: Cambridge University Press
Bridging the gap between today's page- and stage-centred interpretations of Shakespeare's works, Weimann and Bruster explore how the playwright responded to the competing claims of acting and writing in the Elizabethan era. Focusing on the trio of clown, fool, and cross-dressed boy actor, they demonstrate how Shakespeare explored issues of performance.
