Description

Fortification and Its Discontents from Shakespeare to Milton examines how the walled cities that emerged following the Italian Wars of 1494-1498 transformed early modern Atlantic literature and urban space. This Routledge study explores the tension between humanistic fascinations with urban design and the military control that fortified cities imposed on communities. By placing Shakespeare and Milton within this context of architectural and social change, the book reveals how early modern writers grappled with fortification's contradictions - the promise of ordered, designed cities alongside the subordination of human experience to military functionality. The work provides new coherence to Renaissance and early modern literature by connecting diverse texts to these radical transformations in how cities were built, controlled, and imagined. Essential reading for scholars of Renaissance literature, early modern history, and the cultural significance of urban design.

Key Features

Fortification and Its Discontents examines Shakespeare and Milton's literary responses to sixteenth and seventeenth century walled city architecture across the Atlantic world.

This Routledge Studies volume contextualises early modern literature within the revolutionary changes to urban space following the Italian Wars of 1494-1498.

The book explores how humanistic ideals of urban design and composition conflicted with the military functionality demanded by fortified city construction.

Places Shakespeare, Milton and contemporary writers within the framework of early modern Atlantic fortification, revealing connections between literature and military urbanism.

Offers scholars of Renaissance literature and early modern history critical analysis of how fortified cities shaped community organisation and cultural expression.
