Book Synopsis Shakespeare and the Art of Physiognomy by : Sibylle Baumbach
Book excerpt: Sibylle Baumbach's study offers new insight into Shakespeare's modes of characterisation, and his art of performance. In Shakespeare's plays, the human face is a focal point. As an area where expression and impression meet (and, ideally, correspond), its reliability and trustworthiness are frequently put to the test, sparking off a controversy which serves as a significant and highly challenging subtext to the overall plot.
