Description: Oxford Handbook of the Age of Shakespeare, Paperback by Smuts, R. Malcolm (EDT), ISBN 0198822278, ISBN-13 9780198822271, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The Oxford Handbook of the Age of Shakespeare presents a broad sampling of current historical scholarship on the period of Shakespeares career that will assist and stimulate scholars of his poems and plays. Rather than merely attempting to summarize the historical background to Shakespeare,
individual chapters seek to exemplify a wide variety of perspectives and methodologies currently used in historical research on the early modern period that can inform close analysis of literature. Different sections examine political history at both the national and local levels; relationships
between intellectual culture and the early modern political imagination; relevant aspects of religious and social history; and facets of the histories of architecture, the visual arts, and music. Topics treated include the emergence of an early modern public sphere and its relationship to drama
during Shakespeares lifetime; the role of historical narratives in shaping the periods views on the workings of politics; attitudes about the role of emotion in social life; cultures of honour and shame and the rituals and literary forms through which they found expression; crime and murder; and
visual expressions of ideas of moral disorder and natural monstrosity, in printed images as well as garden architecture.
