Through a close reading of the banished shepherd-prince and the cannibalistic outlaw-king, Bremo, I argue that the play instead stages a disturbing encounter between two figures of sovereign exclusion, whose differences collapse into imitation. This mirroring…

As more of his constructions are unravelled, we obtain an increasing appreciation of his attainments. Undoubtedly he also observed the heavenly bodies and used them to tell the time of day or night and to tell the day of the year. To take geometry first, let us look at the various shapes which, in his hands, a ring of stone could take. To understa…
