While props like the strawberry-spotted handkerchief in \u003cem data-start=\"653\" data-end=\"662\"\u003eOthello\u003c\/em\u003e and the skull in \u003cem data-start=\"680\" data-end=\"688\"\u003eHamlet\u003c\/em\u003e have become iconic symbols that immediately evoke the plays, Duncan argues that props should not be viewed merely as static or symbolic objects. Instead, she redefines them as \"detachable parts of the mind,\" offering a fresh reading of how props function cognitively within Shakespeare’s plays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"985\" data-end=\"1610\"\u003eThe monograph delves into how Shakespeare's characters use props to project, reveal, and intervene in each other's thought processes, deepening the emotional and cognitive experience for both the characters and the audience. From memory manipulation in \u003cem data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1246\"\u003eHamlet\u003c\/em\u003e to the cultural dynamics of gift-giving in \u003cem data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1299\"\u003eOthello\u003c\/em\u003e, Duncan’s analysis opens new perspectives on cognition, recollection, and the relationship between memory and objects during the Renaissance. She highlights how props are more than physical objects—they are volatile extensions of character psychology that can be manipulated and read for their affective power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1612\" data-end=\"2010\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe book also situates Shakespeare’s exploration of props within the context of early modern culture’s rethinking of memory and objecthood, driven by the rise of printing. By examining how props carry cultural memories, accrue significance, or fade into stage detritus, Duncan sheds new light on how Shakespeare used material objects to shape and intensify human cognition and emotion in his plays.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROUTLEDGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49952113131824,"sku":"Sarat_9781138291225","price":12578.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/routledge-book-default-title-shakespeare-s-props-memory-and-cognition-routledge-studies-in-shakespeare-41327746711856.jpg?v=1775950039","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/shakespeare-s-props-memory-and-cognition-routledge-studies-in-shakespeare","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
