Abstract

A new subfield has begun to develop in scholarship of the English Renaissance: early modern neurodiversity studies. This essay, written by two scholars who identify as autistic, presents a neurologically informed approach to Shakespearean ‘character’, by theorising the analysis of neurological identity—that is, the characteristic cognitive, emotional, and sensory styles of a particular literary figure. More specifically, we develop the concept of neurotypes to help describe certain kinds of cognitive, emotional, and sensory characteristics, suggesting that they can function as a non-diagnostic way of accounting both for points of contact between the neurological past and present and for neurological identity more generally. This approach not only helps uncover neurodivergence in Shakespeare’s plays, but also shows more broadly how attention to the entanglement of cognitive, emotional, and sensory functioning can elucidate how his characters would have been understood by early modern subjects, and how they might be understood today in light of our growing awareness of human neurodiversity.
