Alan Stewart shows how and why Shakespeare put letters on stage in virtually all of his plays

Alan Stewart shows how and why Shakespeare put letters on stage in virtually all of his plays. By reconstructing the very different uses to which letters were put in Shakespeare's time, and recapturing what it meant to write, send, receive, read, and archive a letter, it throws new light on some of his most familiar dramas. Early modern letters were not private missives sent through an anonymous postal system, but a vital - sometimes the only - means of maintaining contact and sending news between distant locations.

In effect, letters are a conduit when face to face communication is deemed impossible. The book explains how the Shakespearean stage was a composite of speech and an action orientation.
