Shakespeare and Complexity Theory - Claire Hansen - Bog

Shakespeare and Complexity Theory is the first book-length examination into how complexity theory may be incorporated within Shakespeare studies. The book demonstrates how complexity theory can illuminate our understanding of Shakespeare¿s texts, early modern theatrical practices (from dance to co-authorship to stagecraft), pedagogy, and Shakespeare¿s canonical place in contemporary culture. In its implementation of a scientific framework, this monograph taps into an area of increasing academic and research interest: the relationship between the sciences and the humanities.
