商品描述

Shakespeare's Theater of Nature explores nature in Shakespeare's plays not just as a source of pastoral nostalgia but also as a vital agent of knowledge, pleasure, and representation. Due in part to its reframing through new visual technologies such as the printing press, the telescope, and the microscope, nature was increasingly understood as a structure of representation itself in early modern Europe. Shakespeare's foregrounding of nature also draws on important debates in classical, medieval, and early modern theology and natural philosophy. His innovative works for the Renaissance stage developed new strategies of representing nature using both language and embodied action. Opening chapters survey printed books of nature and earlier traditions of theatrical mimesis that reframed the divine order of nature (ordo creationis), while later chapters offer detailed readings of eight plays by Shakespeare.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《莎士比亞的自然劇場》探討了莎士比亞戲劇中的自然,不僅僅是田園懷舊的來源,更是知識、愉悅和表現的重要媒介。部分原因是透過印刷術、望遠鏡和顯微鏡等新視覺技術的重新框架,自然在早期現代歐洲被越來越多地理解為一種表現結構。莎士比亞對自然的突出強調也借鑒了古典、中世紀和早期現代神學及自然哲學中的重要辯論。他在文藝復興舞台上的創新作品,發展了使用語言和具體行動來表現自然的新策略。開篇章節回顧了自然的印刷書籍和早期的戲劇模仿傳統,重新框架了自然的神聖秩序(ordo creationis),而後面的章節則對莎士比亞的八部戲劇進行了詳細的解讀。
