from The Year’s Contribution to Shakespeare Studies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 November 2024
These are books filled with uncertainty. This theme is explicit and central to Lauren Robertson’s Entertaining Uncertainty in the Early Modern Theater, but uncertainty features throughout 2023’s Shakespeare studies in sometimes surprising ways. Questions of knowing and unknowing, the uncertainty of sound, and the slippery unknowability of identities, categories and physical phenomena present a world of unstable knowledge and fraught attempts to fix sense and meaning upon it. Questioning, deconstructing and rendering deliberately obscure emerge as key critical methods, and much seems productively indeterminate.
To begin with those texts tied more closely to questions of performance, Laura Jayne Wright’s Sound Effects: Hearing the Early Modern Stage considers ‘the shifting and malleable sonic world’ of early modern drama (2). This is a work concerned more with the semantics than the mechanics of sound effects, though audience response is a key preoccupation.
