| Description | Late Elizabethan historical drama combined Aristotle's binary opposites of particular history and universal literature. This combination blurred the distinctions between fact and fiction for Elizabethan playgoers. Playgoers came from all walks of life and these in-between forms of histories affected how they identified with stage characters that had some link with their own identity either in blood or deed. This situation can be thought of in terms of Foucauldian “heterochronies” that palimpsestically depicted the past and the present in the liminal space of the play. In Shakespeare's Richard II (1594-5), the stage was a “heterotopia” depicting the historic, the histrionic, and the contemporary Elizabethan periods simultaneously. This chapter examines the liminal spaces of Shakespeare's Richard II and how they were affected by and affected Elizabethan audiences. Book Name: Audience and Reception in the Early Modern Period |
