520 This book considers the influence that sixteenth-century
and early seventeenth-century mathematical thinking
exerted on the writing and production of popular drama
between about 1587 and 1603. It concentrates upon six
plays by five early modern dramatists: Tamburlaine, Part 1
(1587) and Tamburlaine, Part 2 (1587) by Christopher
Marlowe; Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay (1589) by Robert
Greene; Old Fortunatus (1599) by Thomas Dekker; Hamlet
(1600) by William Shakespeare; and The Tragedy of Hoffman
(1603) by Henry Chettle. Each chapter analyses how the
terms, concepts, and implications of contemporary
mathematics impacted upon these plays' vocabularies, forms,
and aesthetic and dramaturgical effects and affects
