Shakespeare and the Hunt is a book-length 2001 study of
Shakespeare's works in relation to the culture of the hunt in
Elizabethan and Jacobean society. The book explores topics
generally unfamiliar to Shakespeareans, such as the variety of
kinds of hunting in the period, the formal rituals of the hunt, the
roles of Queen Elizabeth and King James as hunters, the practice of
organized poaching, and the arguments both for and against hunting.
Situating Shakespeare's works in this rich cultural context, Berry
illuminates the plays from fresh angles. He explores, for example,
the role of poaching in The Merry Wives of Windsor; the paradox of
pastoral hunting in As You Like It; the intertwining of hunting and
politics in The Tempest; and the gendered language of falconry in
The Taming of the Shrew.
