This book examines Shakespeare's fascination with the art of narrative and the visuality of language. Richard Meek argues that Shakespeare does not simply prioritise drama over other forms of representation. Rather, Shakespeare repeatedly exploits the interplay between different types of mimesis - narrative, dramatic and pictorial - in order to beguile his audiences and readers. The book suggests ways in which Shakespeare's works themselves debate the question of text versus performance.
