Recovering Shakespeare's Theatrical Vocabulary
Dessen, Alan C. (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)
Alan Dessen draws upon stage directions from hundreds of plays (from 1425 to 1642) to investigate what a playgoer may actually have seen when watching the original productions of Hamlet or Macbeth. He argues for the presence of a shared vocabulary among playwrights, players and playgoers.
