      abstract = {Shakespeare's 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. In Speed and  Flight in Shakespeare, the first study of any kind on the  subject, Steggle looks at how Shakespeare's 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. Featuring chapters on The Comedy of Errors, A  Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Henry V, Macbeth  and The Tempest, this study opens up a new field around the  "historical phenomenology" of early modern speed. Matthew  Steggle is Professor of English at the University of  Bristol, UK. His research interests include early modern  literature and drama, with a particular focus on  "historicized performance studies", and "acoustic  approaches" to early modern drama. His publications include  four monographs on early modern drama; editions of plays by  Shakespeare, Jonson, and Brome; and dozens of scholarly  articles and book chapters. Steggle is also Co-editor of  the AHRC-funded Oxford Works of John Marston project, and  of the Lost Plays Database. .},
