They are repeatedly interested in humans, spirits, and objects that move very fast; become airborne; and in some cases even travel into space. In \u003ci\u003eSpeed and Flight in Shakespeare\u003c\/i\u003e, the first study of any kind on the subject, Steggle looks at how Shakespeare’s language explores ideas of speed and flight, and what theatrical resources his plays use to represent these states. Shakespeare has, this book argues, an aesthetic of speed and flight.  Featuring chapters on \u003ci\u003eThe Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Henry V, Macbeth\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e, this study opens up a new field around the ‘historical phenomenology’ of early modern speed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Introduction.- Chapter 2: Acceleration in \u003ci\u003eThe Comedy of Errors.- \u003c\/i\u003eChapter 3: Taking Flight in \u003ci\u003eRomeo and Juliet.- \u003c\/i\u003eChapter 4: The Speed Demons of \u003ci\u003eA Midsummer Night's Dream.- \u003c\/i\u003eChapter 5: The Action of the Tiger: \u003ci\u003eRichard III and Henry V.- \u003c\/i\u003eChapter 6: \u003ci\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/i\u003e: Life in Fast Forward.- Chapter 7: Free Flight:\u003ci\u003eThe Tempest.- \u003c\/i\u003eChapter 8: Conclusion.
