| Description | An approach to Elizabethan and Jacobean drama through dramatic structure, with the view to the cognitive processes of the plays. The approach follows the Czech structuralist tradition of theatre semiotics (Otakar Zich, Ivo Osolsobě). The essay is a study in the art of provoking significance in the reader/audience. The case studies are Shakespeare's Hamlet (c1600), a comparison of The Taming of the Shrew (c1590-91) and the anonymous The Taming of a Shrew (c1593-94), and a comparative study of Shakespeare's The Tempest (c1611), and The Sea Voyage (1622) by John Fletcher and Philip Massinger. |
