Allegorising Thought on the Shakespearean Stage

The Discovery of the Mind
Explores Shakespeare’s use of allegory as a privileged tool for making visible the inner workings of his characters’ minds
This 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.
