Abstract

Abstract:In dramatizing the loss of Lancastrian control in France, Shakespeare's Henry the Sixth plays draw attention to England as an island made as much by human activity as by geomorphology. By focusing on characters' varying engagements with the English littoral—the margin where land meets sea, and where local, national, and transnational interests intersect—this article considers the political and ecological consequences of England's dynamic insularity. Reading Shakespeare littorally reveals contested visions of Great Britain's evolving role in the changing tides of the late sixteenth century and suggests a model for adaptive, global citizenship amidst the political and environmental precarities of the twenty-first.

莎士比亚的《海岸》与《遗失与储存》

摘要:莎士比亚的《亨利六世》戏剧化地描述了兰开斯特家族在法国失去的统治，使人们注意到英国是一个受人类活动和地貌影响的岛屿。通过关注人物与英国沿海地区——陆地与海洋的交界处，以及地方、国家和跨国利益的交汇处——的不同接触，本文考虑了英格兰动态孤立的政治和生态后果。通过阅读莎士比亚的文字，我们可以看到英国在16世纪晚期不断变化的潮流中不断演变的角色，并为21世纪政治和环境不稳定中的全球公民提供了一种适应性的模式。

期刊介绍： SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
