This book seeks to elaborate a theory of 'troping' that expands the purview of linguistic work and agency, parsing its transformative work beyond the limits usually set it by theories of language. It registers a sea-change in the theorization of theatrical art from representation to intervention. Focussing on early modern theatre from Shakespeare to the Restoration, it seeks to lay bare the activity of language as a heterotropology.
