Shakespeare Among the Animals examines the role of animal-metaphor
in the Shakespeare stage, particularly as such metaphor serves to
underwrite various forms of social difference. Working through
texts such as Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream , Jonson's
Volpone , and Middleton's A Chaste Maid in Cheapside , different
chapters of the study focus upon the allegedly natural character of
femininity, masculinity, and ethnicity, while a fourth chapter
considers the nature of the natural world itself as it appears on
the Renaissance stage. Addressing each of these topics in turn,
Shakespeare Among the Animals explores the notions of cultural
order that underlie early modern conceptions of the natural world,
and the ideas of nature implicit in early modern social practice.
