This book considers the influence that sixteenth-century and early seventeenth-century mathematical thinking exerted on the writing and production of popular drama between about 1587 and 1603. It concentrates upon six plays by five early modern dramatists:
(1587) and
(1587) by Christopher Marlowe;
(1589) by Robert Greene;
(1599) by Thomas Dekker;
(1600) by William Shakespeare; and
(1603) by Henry Chettle. Each chapter analyses how the terms, concepts, and implications of contemporary mathematics impacted upon these plays’ vocabularies, forms, and aesthetic and dramaturgical effects and affects.
