Sommario/riassunto

The first collection devoted specifically to green Shakespeare, this volume engages with pressing environmental questions in order to provide a better understanding of where and how ecocritical readings should be situated. Ecocritical Shakespeare combines multiple critical perspectives, juxtaposing historicism and presentism as well as considering ecofeminism and pedagogy. Topics addressed include early modern representations of flora and fauna, human-animal relations, storms, the scala naturae, the marine environment, and pedagogy.
