The first book to systematically combine the two vibrant yet hitherto unconnected fields of memory and affect in Shakespeare's England.

Recenzje

'From memory arts to stagecraft via politics and the modalities of space and time, this book's organization demonstrates the varied possibilities of approaching memory and affect together. The essays included here offer smart, persuasive readings of Shakespearean drama and poetry as well as of non-canonical texts. A sustained exploration of memory and affect in early modern England is long overdue, and this collection thus provides an important and welcome intervention in early modern literary studies.' Kristine Johanson, University of Amsterdam
