Description

Product Description Shakespeare in London offers a lively and engaging new reading of some of Shakespeare's major work, informed by close attention to the language of his drama. The focus of the book is on Shakespeare's London, how it influenced his drama and how he represents it on stage. Taking readers on an imaginative journey through the city, the book moves both chronologically, from beginning to end of Shakespeare's dramatic career, and also geographically, traversing London from west to east. Each chapter focuses on one play and one key location, drawing out the thematic connections between that place and the drama it underwrites. Plays discussed in detail include Hamlet, Richard Ii, The Merchant of Venice, The Tempest, King Lear and Romeo and Juliet. Close textual readings accompany the wealth of contextual material, providing a fresh and exciting way into Shakespeare's work. Review "Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies seem to take place everywhere but Elizabethan London: Athens, Elsinore, Ephesus, Rome, Troy, Venice, Verona. This engaging book shows, contrary to received tradition, how deeply Shakespeare's experience of life in London inspired the themes and scenes of plays purportedly set elsewhere." --Lena Cowen Orlin, Professor of English, Georgetown University, USA"It is an evocative journey that places Shakespeare's plays in a revealing urban context" --The Guardian"Crawforth, Dustagheer, and Young argue that the city in which Shakespeare lived and worked influenced the writing and performance of his plays. Each chapter of the book focuses on one play and one social or historical context for that play ... The authors provide useful supplementary materials: a chronology of Shakespeare's life, traced against important contemporary events in London, and a list of suggested reading, arranged by subject ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates; general readers." --K. K. Smith, University of South Carolina, Aiken, CHOICE About the Author Hannah Crawforth is Lecturer in Shakespeare Studies at King's College London, UK. Sarah Dustagheer is Lecturer in Early Modern Literature at the University of Kent, UK. Jennifer Young is Research Fellow at Anglia Ruskin University, UK
