Gail Kern Paster explores the role of the city in the works of
William Shakespeare, Thomas Middleton, and Ben Jonson. Paster moves
beyond the usual presentation of the city-country dichotomy to
reveal a series of oppositions that operate within the city's
walls. These oppositions--city of God and city of man, Jerusalem
and Rome, bride of the Lamb and whore of Babylon, ideal and
real--together create a dual image of the city as a visionary ideal
society and as a predatory trap, founded in fratricide, shadowed in
guilt. In the theater, this duality affects the fate of early
modern city dwellers, who exemplify even as they are controlled by
this contradictory reality.
