Cognition in the Globe [electronic resource] : Attention and Memory in Shakespeare's Theatre /
Tribble, E.author.
Early modern playing companies performed up to six different plays a week and mounted new plays frequently. This book seeks to answer a seemingly simple question: how did they do it? Drawing upon work in philosophy and the cognitive sciences, it proposes that the cognitive work of theatre is distributed across body, brain, and world.
