Beschreibung:
This original and scholarly work uses three detailed case studies of plays - Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra , King Lear and Cymbeline - to cast light on the ways in which early modern writers used metaphor to explore how identities emerge from the interaction of competing regional and spiritual topographies.
This study examines the use of metaphorical topographies to construct social identities on the early modern stage, looking at Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, King Lear and Cymbeline
