Cover of Andrew Hadfield: Shakespeare And Renaissance Europe (ePUB)

This collection of essays explores the diverse ways in which Shakespeare and his contemporaries experienced and imagined Europe. The book charts the aspects of European politics and culture which interested Renaissance travellers, thus mapping the context within which Shakespeare”s plays with European settings would have been received. Chapters cover the politics of continental Europe, the representation of foreigners on the English stage, the experiences of English travellers abroad, Shakespeare”s reading of modern European literature, the influence of Italian comedy, his presentation of Moors from Europe”s southern frontier, and his translation of Europe into settings for his plays.
