Book Synopsis
Argues that playwrights looked to fencing theory and performance for physical cues and formal structure.

Trade Review
"Through insightful close-readings of plays we don't associate with fencing, Dori Coblentz reveals how dramatic plots replicate the temporal rhythm and movement patterns of the sport. Fencing, Form and Cognition on the Early Modern Stage is an important book not only for readers interested in the history of sport, but for those seeking to understand the complex temporality of early modern plays." -Gina Bloom, author of Gaming the Stage: Playable Media and the Rise of English Commercial Theater
