AB  - Examines courtly space and social mobility in Hamlet and early modern society, focusing on the malleability of social space as well as stage portrayals of social identity and mobility which are "unrestricted precisely because of this open court setting." Argues that Hamlet's status as a revenge tragedy makes it particularly helpful for the study of early modern social mobility, as "the stage revenger was the most viable type of drama for the representation of social mobility at court for a number of key reasons." English summary, 204.
