Many of his most powerful metaphors rely on sensory details—Aaron’s black hue; Cleopatra’s strange, invisible perfumes; Fluellen’s Welsh accent; Lady Macbeth’s overly scrubbed hands; Malvolio’s yellow stockings—which Elizabethan-era audiences may have understood very differently from us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eShakespeare and the Senses\u003c\/i\u003e draws on interdisciplinary research methods in the new field of sensory studies to expand our understanding of what Shakespeare meant to his first audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47330061680876,"sku":"9780866986960","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/61eBXqE9AcL._SL1500.jpg?v=1771921017"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/holly-e-dugan.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
