Publisher Description This stunning collection of essays by Terence Hawkes engages with, explains, and explores presentism, a critical manoeuvre which uses relevant aspects of the contemporary as a trigger for its investigations. Beginning with the material present, Hawkes suggests how its principles may be applied to aspects of Shakespeares plays. He concentrates on two main areas, firstly devolution in British politics and secondly presentisms commitment to a reversal of conceptual hierarchies such as primary/secondary, past/present and the interaction between performance and reference. Hawkes expands our notion of performing, refocusing interest on what the early modern theatre meant by the activity it termed playing.
