Description : During the Renaissance period, artists and architects often composed their canvasses and buildings according to numerical and musical harmonies. Major poets as well, including Dante, Spenser, and Milton, employed similar principles in their work. Shakespeare's poems have been analyzed for their numerology, but until now his plays have not.
Sylvia Eckersley had studied scene symmetry in Shakespeare's plays and was struck by the exact middle lines of Macbeth as numbered on a First Folio edition:
See they encounter thee with their harts thanks
Both sides are euen: heere Ile sit i'th' mid'st
Eckersley was inspired to investigate further, and Number and Geometry in Shakespeare's Macbeth is the fascinating result. She uncovered never-before documented numerical patterns and rhythms in Macbeth that could profoundly influence future interpretations and productions of this great and timeless work.
This is an important book for Shakespeare scholars and numerology experts alike.
