Book review: Sachon S. Shakespeare, objects and phenomenology : daggers of the mind.

KUZMICHEV A.I.

Abstract

The main subject of the book written by S. Sachon is the perception of objects both visible to the audience and imaginative in five Shakespearian plays: Titus Andronicus, Henry V, Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear. Her approach is a synthesis of phenomenology, historicism, close reading, theatrical studies and modern cognitive studies. Her aim is to analyze both audience's conscious and subconscious response to the language and images of Shakespearian plays.

Keywords
