Bøker av Emma (Newcastle University) Whipday

This Element explores the possibilities of an 'embodied' pedagogical approach as a tool to inform literary analysis; such an approach does not 'minimize' the distinction between the literary and the theatrical, but rather, explores how these two modes interrelate.

This book explores the relationship between Shakespeare's most famous tragedies and the genre of 'domestic tragedy': plays about murder and adultery in ordinary households. In tracing representations of violent homes in early modern culture, Emma Whipday proposes a new way of reading Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth.
