This pioneering collection of nine original essays carves out a new
conceptual path in the field by theorizing the ways in which the
language of games and warfare inform and illuminate each other in
the early modern cultural imagination. They consider how warfare
and games are mapped onto each other in aesthetically and
ideologically significant ways in the early modern plays, poetry or
prose of William Shakespeare, Thomas Morton, John Milton, Margaret
Cavendish, Aphra Behn, and Jonathan Swift, among others.
Contributors interpret the terms 'war games' or 'games of war'
broadly, freeing them to uncover the more complex and abstract
interplay of war and games in the early modern mind, taking readers
from the cockpits and clowns of Shakespearean drama, through the
intriguing manuals of cryptographers and the ingenious literary
wargames of Restoration women authors, to the witty but rancorous
paper wars of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
