Shakespeares plays are fascinated by the problems of speed and flight. They are repeatedly interested in humans, spirits, and objects that move very fast; become airborne; and in some cases even travel into space. InÂ Speed and Flight in Shakespeare, the first study of any kind on the subject, Steggle looks at how Shakespeare language explores ideas of speed and flight, and what theatrical resources his plays use to represent these states. Shakespeare has, this book argues, an aesthetic of speed and flight.Â Featuring chapters onÂ The Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Night Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Henry V, MacbethÂ andÂ The Tempest, this study opens up a new field around the â€˜historical phenomenologyâ€™ of early modern speed.Â
