- This 150,000 word (318pp) monograph - Shakespeare's Contagious Sympathies - is the result of a decade of research into the historical, religious, philosophical, and medical context of Shakespeare's drama, considering the effect that period disease pathology had upon early conceptions of sympathy and compassion. As such it represents a significant contribution to scholarship on the history of emotions and sensations, as well as an intervention in contemporary Shakespearean debate.
