Description
Shakespeare's dwellings are more than just settings for his plays - they are spaces that reveal fundamental human connections and primal needs. Julia Reinhard Lupton explores these dwellings in search of insights into the most basic human problems, drawing on modern design theory, Renaissance treatises, and philosophical ideas from Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger. Through a close analysis of five works - Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Pericles, Cymbeline, and The Winter's Tale - Lupton reimagines the concept of dwelling, shedding new light on how Shakespeare's plays continue to help us make sense of our need for shelter. This innovative approach offers a fresh perspective on the contemporary study of environments. By examining the spaces where characters gather, Lupton reveals the enduring power of Shakespeare's works in addressing fundamental human concerns.
