By reading the plays in technological contexts, Cohen offers new insights into some of Shakespeare's key metaphors, his methods of character development and plot development, his ideas about genre, his concept of theatrical space, and his views on the theatre's role in society.
'Cohen's book...sensitizes us to traces of a significant early modern mechanical culture in Shakespeare's plays, a culture too often and erroneously assumed to be 'rude'.' - Karen L. Edwards, Renaissance Quarterly
