Stage, stake, and scaffold humans and animals in Shakespeare's theatre / [electronic resource] : by Andreas Hofele. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2011. - 1 online resource (xii, 315 p.) : ill.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

In Shakespeare's London, the stage of the playhouse, the stake of the bear baiting arena, and the scaffold of public execution constituted an ensemble of related spectacles that shared the same audiences. Andreas Hofele argues that this generated a powerful exchange of images and a spill-over of animal features into Shakespeare's characters.
