AB  - Studies the idealized portrayal of human behavior and passions in eighteenth-century acting manuals that rely heavily on examples from Shakespeare (especially Hamlet's advice to the Players), arguing that "manuals dealing with Shakespearean stage practice were, as arbiters of taste, vigorous advocates of a kind of superhumanity which only shows the most decorous parts of humanity onstage."
