Abstract
Abstract:What do Shakespeare and Michelangelo have in common? William Shakespeare and Thomas Middleton's Timon of Athens is labelled as unfinished, akin to Michelangelo's Prisoners sculptures whose fragmentary shapes inspired non-finito aesthetics. As the only Shakespearean play to mention sculpture, I argue that Timon of Athens invites a nonfinito interpretation that captures the infinite performativity of dramatic characters who, like Michelangelo's Prisoners, cannot escape their form. Accepting Timon—as is—reveals the process of collaborative playwriting and offers a creative license for interpretation to performers and readers alike.
摘要：莎士比亚和米开朗基罗有什么共同点？威廉·莎士比亚（William Shakespeare）和托马斯·米德尔顿（Thomas Middleton）的《雅典的蒂蒙》（Timon of Athens）被称为未完成作品，类似于米开朗基罗（Michelangelo）的《囚犯》（Prisons）雕塑，其零碎的形状激发了非有限美学的灵感。作为唯一一部提到雕塑的莎士比亚戏剧，我认为《雅典的提蒙》邀请了一种非虚构的解读，捕捉到了戏剧人物的无限表演性，就像米开朗基罗的《囚犯》一样，他们无法逃脱自己的形式。接受蒂蒙——照原样——揭示了合作剧本创作的过程，并为表演者和读者提供了一个创造性的诠释许可。

For more than a quarter century, Philosophy and Literature has explored the dialogue between literary and philosophical studies. The journal offers a constant source of fresh, stimulating ideas in the aesthetics of literature, theory of criticism, philosophical interpretation of literature, and literary treatment of philosophy.

In his regular column, editor Denis Dutton targets the fashions and inanities of contemporary intellectual life.
