Shakespeare and the Materiality of Performance

Erika T. Lin is Associate Professor of English at George Mason University, USA.

"Shakespeare and the Materiality of Performance is an important book, charting Shakespearean theatre not as the reproduction of a script but as an event. Erika Lin searchingly sets the signifying and embodied designs of stage performance in dialogue with other forms of meaningful early modern action, notably dance and sports, to refine the cultural attitudes and practices that conditioned early modern attitudes toward performance. Ranging across an impressive variety of sources, from folk festivity to anatomy texts to architecture, Lin excavates the contingencies that animated the signifying materialities of theatrical performance for early modern audiences." - W. B. Worthen, Alice Brady Pels Professor in the Arts, Barnard College
