The experience of powerful emotion is central to dramatic presentation and audience response. T. G. Bishop examines ways in which wonder has been used by playwrights as an integral part of theatre, both in classical and medieval drama and in the plays of Shakespeare. His study offers an alternative approach to understanding plays.
