"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.
Informed by The Body in Parts, the essays in this book respond also to the notion
of an early modern 'body-mind' in which Shakespeare and his contemporaries are understood
in terms of bodily parts and cognitive processes. What might the impact of such understandings
be on our picture of Shakespeare's theatre or on our histories of the early modern
period, broadly speaking? This book provides a wide range of approaches to this challenge,
covering histories of cognition, studies of early modern stage practices, textual
studies, and historical phenomenology, as well as new cultural histories by some of
the key proponents of this approach at the present time. Because of the breadth of
material covered, full weight is given to issues that are hotly debated at the present
time within Shakespeare Studies: presentist scholarship is presented alongside more
historically-focused studies, for example, and phenomenological studies of material
culture are included along with close readings of texts. What the contributors have
in common is a refusal to read the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries either
psychologically or materially; instead, these essays address a willingness to study
early modern phenomena (like the Elizabethan stage) as manifesting an early modern
belief in the embodiment of cognition"
