This encyclopaedic account of animals in Shakespeare's plays and
poems, provides readers with a much-needed resource by which to
navigate the recent outpouring of critical and historical work on
the topic. This dictionary extends its coverage to include insects,
fish and mythic creatures, as well as the places, practices and
lore pertaining to all animal-oriented experiences of early modern
life. It emphasizes the role of animality in defining character,
and is attentive to the instabilities of the human-animal boundary
as they were theatrically represented, exploited and interrogated,
but it is also concerned with the material presence of animals on
stage and in everyday life in Shakespeare’s world. The volume is
a new tool for instructors, but is also a resource for critics and
scholars in the many disciplines engaged with animal studies,
posthumanist theory, ecostudies and cultural studies.
