Untimely Matter In The Time Of Shakespeare by Jonathan Gil Harris
Essays on the Materiality of Early Modern England
This scholarly work delves into the material culture of the early modern period, exploring how objects and artifacts from Shakespeare's time were imbued with meanings that transcended their immediate utility. It examines the interplay between the physical and the temporal, suggesting that objects from the past carry with them a sense of untimeliness that disrupts linear historical narratives. By analyzing various items such as relics, clothing, and even decaying matter, the book offers a fresh perspective on how these materials influenced and were influenced by the cultural and social dynamics of the era.
