Publisher Description: A blind spot suggests an obstructed view, a partisan perception, or a localized lack of understanding. Just as the brain reads the blind spot of the visual field by a curious process of readjustment, Shakespearean drama disorients us with moments of unmastered and unmasterable knowledge, recasting the way we see, know, and think about knowing. Focusing on such moments of apparent obscurity, this volume puts methods and motives of knowing under the spotlight. |
