Shakespeare's Nature offers the first sustained account of the
impact of the language and practice of husbandry on Shakespeare's
work. It shows how the early modern discourse of cultivation
changes attitude to the natural world, and traces the
interrelationships between the human and the natural worlds in
Shakespeare's work through dramatic and poetic models of
intervention, management, prudence and profit. Ranging from the
Sonnets to The Tempest, the book explains how cultivation of the
land responds to and reinforces social welfare, and reveals the
extent to which the dominant industry of Shakespeare's time shaped
a new language of social relations. Beginning with an examination
of the rise in the production of early modern printed husbandry
manuals, Shakespeare's Nature draws on the varied fields of
economic, agrarian, humanist, Christian and literary studies,
showing how the language of husbandry redefined Elizabethan
attitudes to both the human and non-human worlds. In a series of
close readings of specific plays and poems, this book explains how
cultivation forms and develops social and economic value systems,
and how the early modern imagination was dependent on metaphors of
investment, nurture and growth. By tracing this language of
intervention and creation in Shakespeare's work, this book reveals
a fundamental discourse in the development of early modern social,
political and personal values.
