EN SAVOIR PLUS Résumé

Books on Shakespeare are plentiful, but until now there has never been a book written for a general audience about math and science in Shakespeare?s time and how they influenced his works.

Shakespeare grew up in a time of remarkable mathematical innovation. From astronomy to probability, music to multiplication, new mathematical ideas were taking off?and much of this was reflected in his work. In this highly engaging book, award-winning author Rob Eastaway explores the surprising and entertaining ways that mathematics and numbers crop up in Shakespeare?s plays.

We discover how Tudors multiplied, why Shakespeare never ended a line with the word orange, and why King Lear was every inch a king, and why early drafts of the plays could possibly have been written with a pencil. Shakespeare?s world was one in which one might expect to travel no more than a league in an hour, and fathoms and furlongs were as much a part of the language as feet and yards. It was hard to conceive of anything shorter than a minute and the rainbow probably had just five colors.

With historical asides about games, optics, astronomy, and music thrown in, you might never think about math or Shakespeare the same way again.
