This edition of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice reprints the
Bevington edition of the play accompanied by four sets of
thematically arranged primary documents and illustrations designed
to facilitate many different approaches to Shakespeare's play and
the early modern culture out of which the play emerges. The texts
include maps, woodcuts, sermons, statutes, early modern documents
reflecting Christian attitudes toward Jews and Jewish reactions to
these attitudes, excerpts from the Bible on money lending as well
as contemporary discourses on usury and commerce, and excerpts from
the first account of Jewish life written in the vernacular by a Jew
for a Christian audience. The documents contextualize contemporary
discourses on race, nationality, and religion; the place of Venice
in the early modern English imagination; merchant culture; and
marriage, sexuality, and friendship in the period.
