Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book is at the same time rooted in the theater, and thus relates the theatrical conventions of Shakespeare's time to the thematic matter of the book. In particular, Ko demonstrates how the divisions explored in the plays are related to stage practices like the use of boy-actors and the volatile interplay of illusionistic and non-illusionistic modes of acting. In this context, Ko introduces a new term - charactor - that combines the fictional character and the stage actor and enables a new, nuanced exploration of stage personae."--Jacket.
