In The Age of Shakespeare, Frank Kermode uses the history and
culture of the Elizabethan era to enlighten us about William
Shakespeare and his poetry and plays. Opening with the big picture
of the religious and dynastic events that defined England in the
age of the Tudors, Kermode takes the reader on a tour of
Shakespeare's England, vividly portraying London's society, its
early capitalism, its court, its bursting population, and its
epidemics, as well as its arts--including, of course, its theater.
Then Kermode focuses on Shakespeare himself and his career, all in
the context of the time in which he lived. Kermode reads each play
against the backdrop of its probable year of composition, providing
new historical insights into Shakspeare's characters, themes, and
sources. The result is an important, lasting, and concise companion
guide to the works of Shakespeare by one of our most eminent
literary scholars.
