Winner of the 2016 Shakespeare's Globe Book Award The first
comprehensive study of Shakespeare's storms. Whether the
apocalyptic storm of King Lear or the fleeting thunder imagery of
Hamlet, or the thunderbolt of Pericles, there is an instance of
storm in every one of Shakespeare's plays. This book explains the
storm effects used in early modern playhouses, and how they filter
into Shakespeare's dramatic language. With chapters on Julius
Caesar, King Lear, Macbeth, Pericles and The Tempest, Jones traces
the development of the storm over the second half of the
playwright's career, when Shakespeare took the storm to new
extremes. Interspersed are chapters on thunder, lightning, wind and
rain, in which Jones reveals Shakespeare's meteorological
understanding and offers nuanced readings of his imagery.
Throughout, Shakespeare's Storms brings theatre history to bear on
modern theories of literature and the environment. -- .
