Examines the essential relationship between vision, knowledge, and memory in Renaissance models of cognition as seen in Shakespeare's plays. This book explores five key objects/images in Shakespeare's plays - crowns, bells, rings, graves and ghosts - that are central to the imagination of both the playwright and the playgoers.

This text shows that the computer revolution of our time can help us revisit Shakespeare's works in their own time and thereby enhance our understanding of them. Kinney proposes a new way of reading the period's texts which helps us see how the plays were interpreted in early modern times.
