Description
Summary:	Focusing on Shakespeare and his contemporaries, these original essays by leading scholars explore how theatrical, aesthetic and linguistic forms engage early modern experiences of temporality. Encompassing comedy, tragedy, history and romance, some contributions consider how different models of pastness, presentness, sequentiality, memory and historical meaning underwrite particular representational practices. Others, conversely, investigate how aesthetic forms afforded diverse ways for early-modern people to understand or experience time, and how this can impact us today.
