"Thinking Through Place on the Early Modern English Stage traces the way that characters
think through their surroundings in early modern drama, showing not only how these
characters orient themselves within unfamiliar or otherwise strange locations but
also how those locations function as the scaffolding for perception, memory, and other
forms of embodied and affective thought. Such moments of "ecological thinking" show
how performance brings places into being, and they reveal a process that both resembles
and parallels the cognitive work that early modern playgoers undertook in reimagining
the stage as the settings of the dramatic fiction. The book traces the vexed relationship
between these two registers in works by Marlowe, Shakespeare, Beaumont, and Jonson.
It thereby counters a critical tradition that figures drama as a form of spatial abstraction
and demonstrates, instead, that theatrical performance constituted a sophisticated
and self-reflexive mode of thinking through and about place in the early modern period"--Provided
