Credit crunch -- 2. Debt restructuring -- 3. Mortgate payments -- 4. Venture capital.This interesting study examines emotional responses to socio-economic pressures in early modern England, as they are revealed in plays, historical narratives and biographical accounts of the period. These texts yield fascinating insights into the various, often unpredictable, ways in which people coped with the exigencies of credit, debt, mortgaging and capital ventures. Plays discussed include Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice and Timon of Athens, Jonson's The Alchemist and Massinger's A New Way to Pay Old Debts. They are paired with writings by and about the finances of the corrupt Earl of Suffolk, the privateer Walter Raleigh, the royal agent Thomas Gresham, theatre entrepreneur James Burbage, and the Lord Treasurer Lionel Cranfield. Leinwand's new readings of these texts reveal a blend of affect and cognition concerning finance that includes nostalgia, anger, contempt, embarrassment, tenacity, bravado and humility.Cambridge studies in Renaissance literature and culture ;31.English dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismEconomics in literatureLiterature and societyEnglandHistory16th centuryLiterature and societyEnglandHistory17th centuryEnglish drama17th centuryHistory and criticismFinanceEnglandHistory16th centurySourcesFinanceEnglandHistory17th centurySourcesFinance in literatureEnglish dramaHistory and criticism.Economics in literature.Literature and societyHistoryLiterature and societyHistoryEnglish dramaHistory and criticism.FinanceHistoryFinanceHistoryFinance in literature.820.9/355Leinwand Theodore B1629999MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828588703321Theatre, finance, and society in early modern England3968056UNINA
