      abstract = {Many unspoken assumptions permeated the experience of  performance in Shakespeare's theatre. Drawing on scientific  treatises, murder pamphlets, travel narratives, dream  manuals, religious sermons, festive sports, and other  fascinating primary sources, Lin reconstructs playgoers'  typical ways of thinking and feeling and demonstrates how  these culturally-trained habits of mind shaped not only  dramatic narratives but also the presentational dynamics of  onstage action. Combining literary criticism, theatre  history, and performance theory, this ground-breaking study  explodes received ideas about mimesis, spectacle, and  semiotics as it uncovers the ways in which early modern  performance functioned as a material medium, revising and  producing social attitudes and practices.},
