Explores Shakespeare's use of allegory as a privileged tool for making visible the inner workings of his characters' mindsDiscusses the variety of ways in which Shakespearean allegory makes the thoughts and emotions of his characters perceptible and intelligible to his audiencesShows how the recourse to allegory allows Shakespeare to engage with classical and early modern theories of mindOffers new readings of such purple patch" passages as Mark Antony's inflammatory speech to the Plebeians in Julius Caesar and Shylock's "do we not bleed" speech in The Merchant of VeniceExpands and revitalizes the concept of 'stage allegory' beyond its association with medieval morality plays by showing how the parameters of theatrical production (scenery, props, actors' bodies and gestures, audience) are invested with multiple layers of significationGives a new twist to the recent mind-body debate in early modern studies by relating it to stage semiotics and poeticsThis book argues that Shakespeare turned staging problems into opportunities for complex characterization by mobilizing the semiotic potential of playhouse architecture, stage space, gestures, stage properties, performance style and audience participation. These features of production result in allegorical projections of the characters' thoughts, in a way that reflects early modern fascination with the hidden workings of the human mind. "

The writers of later romances deemed Raoul's work worthy of memory on a par with the Prose Lancelot, and placed Raoul and Chrétien on the same level in terms of authority. Raoul de Houdenc was a major and innovative figure in 13th-century French literature. His surviving works are unusually diverse: they include an impassioned tract about the values of chivalry (The Romance of the Wings), two superbly crafted Arthurian romances (Meraugis of Portlesguez and The Avenging of Raguidel), and a swingeing polemic against declining standards especially among the bourgeoisie (The Burgess's Burgeoning Blight). And with his hugely influential satire The Dream of Hell he was the very first to compose allegory in the vernacular, mastering to perfection the art of parody and the unexpected. This is the first translation into English of his complete surviving works.

Exploring the work of writers, illuminators, and craftspeople, this volume demonstrates the pervasive nature of architecture as a category of medieval thought. The architectural remnants of the past - from castles and cathedrals to the lowliest village church - provide many people with their first point of contact with the medieval period and its culture. Such concrete survivals provide a direct link to both the material experience of medieval people and the ideological and imaginative worldview which framed their lives. The studies collected in this volume show how attention to architectural representation can contribute to our understanding of not only the history of architectural thought but also the history of art, the intersection between textual and material culture, and the medieval experience of space and place.
