Enchantment and Dis-enchantment in Shakespeare and Early Modern DramaAuthor :

Published : Wednesday 28 December 2016
Description
This book visits the wondrous, magical, sacred, sainted, numinous, uncanny, auratic, and sacral in the plays of Shakespeare and contemporaries, studying the instabilities of `enchanted and `disenchanted practices of thinking and knowledge-making in the early modern period. If what marvelously stands apart from conceptions of the worlds ordinary functioning might be said to be `enchanted, is the enchantedness weakened, empowered, or modally altered by its translation to theatre? The book asks what happens in theatre, as a medium that can give power to or curtail experiences of wonder, addressing plays that reflect contemporary reorientations of vision, awareness, and cognitive practice.
