Shakespeare, Caravaggio, and the
Indistinct Regard
This volume presents a contrastive study of the overlapping careers of
Shakespeare and Caravaggio through the comparison of their strikingly
similar conventional belief in symbol and the centrality of the subject,
only to gradually open it up in an exaltation of multiplicity and the
“indistinct regard” (Othello).
Utilizing a methodological premise on the notions of early modern
indistinction and multiplicity,
Shakespeare, Caravaggio, and the Indis-
tinct Regard
analyses the survival of English art after iconoclasm and
the circulation of Italian art and motifs, methodologically reassessing
the conventional comparison between painting and literature. The book
examines Caravaggio’s and Shakespeare’s works in the perspective of
the gradual waning of symbolism, the emergence of chiaroscuro and
mirror imagery underneath their radically new concepts of representa-
tion, and the triumph of multiplicity and indistinction. Furthermore,
this work assesses the validity of the twin concepts of multiplicity and
indistinction as an interpretive tool in a dialectical interplay with much
recent work on indeterminacy in literary criticism.
