How were justice and forgiveness understood by the audience who first watched King Lear; how were love and romance viewed by those who first saw Romeo and Juliet? In England in the Age of Shakespeare, Jeremy Black takes readers on a tour of life in the streets, homes, farms, churches, and palaces of the Bard's era. Panning from play to audience and back again, Black shows how Shakespeare's plays would have been experienced and interpreted by those who paid to see them. From the dangers of travel to the indignities of everyday life in teeming London, Black explores the jokes, political and economic references, and small asides that Shakespeare's audiences would have recognized. These moments of recognition often reflected the audience's own experiences of what it was to, as Hamlet says, 'grunt and sweat under a weary life.' Black's clear and sweeping approach seeks to reclaim Shakespeare from the ivory tower and make the plays' histories more accessible to the public for whom the plays were always intended". 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700 607 $aEngland$xSocial life and customs$y16th century 607 $aEngland$xSocial life and customs$y17th century 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y16th century 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y17th century 615 0$aEnglish literature 676 $a822.3/3 700 $aBlack$b Jeremy$f1955-$0144601 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811403903321 996 $aEngland in the Age of Shakespeare$93955611 997 $aUNINA
