Description

Shakespeare Thinking offers a unique model of human mentality that can be seen in the dynamic nature of dramatic thinking. This book explores how Shakespeare's working method embodies fully human mental creativity, and how his work continues to reveal new understandings of the human brain. By examining Shakespeare as the paradigm of fully human mental creativity, this book discusses how his approach has been studied by scholars from the Romantics to recent neurological experiments. These studies have shown that Shakespeare's writing can provide insights into the hard-wiring of the human brain and the sudden electricity of synaptic development. This book provides a fresh perspective on Shakespeare's thinking, one that is rooted in the immediacy of dramatic performance. It is an interesting read for anyone looking to understand more about the nature of human creativity and mental processes.
