- Summary:
- "A fascinating and readable distillation of the insights developed by Krausnick and Shakespeare & Company, Shakespeare's World gives an engagingly written tour of the Elizabethan worldview, unpacking such alien concepts as the four elements, the bodily humors, and "the great chain of being" for modern readers. Particularly useful for performers and directors--it includes detailed notes for each Shakespeare play showing how this worldview permeates the text--it will enrich the experience of anyone looking to understand and engage with Shakespeare's writing in a practical, personal, and active way"-- Provided by publisher.
