This volume focuses on hospitality as a theoretically and
historically crucial phenomenon in Shakespeare's work with
ramifications for contemporary thought and practice. Drawing a
multifaceted picture of Shakespeare's scenes of hospitality-with
their numerous scenes of greeting, feeding, entertaining, and
sheltering-the collection demonstrates how hospitality provides a
compelling frame for the core ethical, political, theological, and
ecological questions of Shakespeare's time and our own. By reading
Shakespeare's plays in conjunction with contemporary theory as well
as early modern texts and objects-including almanacs, recipe books,
husbandry manuals, and religious tracts - this book reimagines
Shakespeare's playworld as one charged with the risks of hosting
(rape and seduction, war and betrayal, enchantment and
disenchantment) and the limits of generosity (how much can or
should one give the guest, with what attitude or comportment, and
under what circumstances?). This substantial volume maps the
terrain of Shakespearean hospitality in its rich complexity,
demonstrating the importance of historical, rhetorical, and
phenomenological approaches to this diverse subject.
