Abstract

If you’ve ever been curious about the authenticity of references to plague in Romeo and Juliet, or wondered how Elizabethans treated melancholia, considered witchcraft, or treated actors, the resources in Shakespeare’s World will help you think like a Renaissance man or woman. This recent addition to Greenwood’s Historical Exploration of Literature series situates four of Shakespeare’s tragedies within the contemporary history of Renaissance England. In order to contextualize broad social considerations that the Bard’s audience recognized, the volume includes primary sources and additional references that will engage any student of new historicism or reader interested in a broader picture of society and social concerns of the day.
书评:《莎士比亚的世界:悲剧》
如果你对《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中提到瘟疫的真实性感到好奇,或者想知道伊丽莎白时代是如何对待忧郁症、巫术或演员的,那么《莎士比亚的世界》中的资源将帮助你像文艺复兴时期的男人或女人一样思考。格林伍德的《文学历史探索》系列新作将莎士比亚的四部悲剧置于英国文艺复兴时期的当代历史中。为了将莎士比亚的读者认识到的广泛的社会问题置于背景中,这本书包括了主要的来源和额外的参考资料,这将吸引任何研究新历史主义的学生或对更广泛的社会图景和当时的社会问题感兴趣的读者。
