Conceiving Desire in Lyly and Shakespeare: Edinburgh Critical Studies in Shakespeare and Philosophy

Autor Gillian Knoll
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 mar 2020
Explores the role of the mind in creating erotic experience on the early modern stage
  • Advances a new critical methodology that credits the role of cognition in the experience of erotic desire, and pleasure itself
  • Explores the philosophical underpinnings of erotic metaphors, drawing from ancient, early modern, and contemporary thinkers such as Aristotle, Giordano Bruno, Gaston Bachelard, Emmanuel Levinas, Kenneth Burke, George Lakoff, and Mark Turner
  • Illuminates the dramatic vitality of philosophical and contemplative erotic speech
  • Provides the first full-length study that pairs John Lyly's and William Shakespeare's drama, uncovering new forms of intimacy in their plays
To 'conceive' desire is to acknowledge the generative potential of the erotic imagination, its capacity to impart form and make meaning out of the most elusive experiences. Drawing from cognitive theories about the metaphorical nature of thought, Gillian Knoll traces the contours of three conceptual metaphors - motion, space and creativity - that shape desire in plays by John Lyly and William Shakespeare. Metaphors, she argues, do more than narrate or express eros; they constitute erotic experience for Lyly's and Shakespeare's characters.
