| Summary: | This book deals with the poetics of the human face, the art of physiognomy, and strategies of nonverbal communication in Shakespeares plays. It offers new insight into Shakespeares modes of characterisation, and his art of performance. In Shakespeares plays, the human face is a focal point. As an area where expression and impression meet (and, ideally, correspond), its reliability and trustworthiness are frequently put to the test, sparking off a controversy which serves as a significant and highly challenging subtext to the overall plot. |
