Study of the sea-both in terms of human interaction with it and its
literary representation-has been largely ignored by ecocritics. In
Shakespeare's Ocean, Dan Brayton foregrounds the maritime dimension
of a writer whose plays and poems have had an enormous impact on
literary notions of nature and, in so doing, plots a new course for
ecocritical scholarship. Shakespeare lived during a time of great
expansion of geographical knowledge. The world in which he imagined
his plays was newly understood to be a sphere covered with water.
In vital readings of works ranging from The Comedy of Errors to the
valedictory The Tempest, Brayton demonstrates Shakespeare's
remarkable conceptual mastery of the early modern maritime world
and reveals a powerful benthic imagination at work.
