Early modern English drama was conditioned by the environmental events of the cities and landscapes within which it developed. Boehrer introduces Jacobean London as the first modern European metropolis in an England beset by problems of overpopulation; depletion of resources and species; land, water and air pollution; disease and other health-related issues; and associated changes in social behavior and cultural output. In six chapters he discusses the work of the most productive and influential playwrights of the day: Shakespeare, Jonson, Middleton, Fletcher, Dekker and Heywood, exploring the strategies by which they made sense of radical ecological change in their drama. In the process, Boehrer sketches out these playwrights' differing responses to environmental issues and traces their legacy for later literary formulations of green consciousness. 606 $aEnglish drama$y17th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnvironmental degradation in literature 606 $aHuman ecology in literature 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnvironmental degradation in literature. 615 0$aHuman ecology in literature. 676 $a822/.309355 686 $aLIT004120$2bisacsh 700 $aBoehrer$b Bruce Thomas$0740384 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963284303321 996 $aEnvironmental degradation in Jacobean drama$94424429 997 $aUNINA
