The Oxford Handbook of the Age of Shakespeare presents a broad
sampling of current historical scholarship on the period of
Shakespeare's career that will assist and stimulate scholars of his
poems and plays. Rather than merely attempting to summarize the
historical 'background' to Shakespeare, individual chapters seek to
exemplify a wide variety of perspectives and methodologies
currently used in historical research on the early modern period
that can inform close analysis of literature. Different sections
examine political history at both the national and local levels;
relationships between intellectual culture and the early modern
political imagination; relevant aspects of religious and social
history; and facets of the histories of architecture, the visual
arts and music. Topics treated include the emergence of an early
modern 'public sphere' and its relationship to drama during
Shakespeare's lifetime; the role of historical narratives in
shaping the period's views on the workings of politics; attitudes
about the role of emotion in social life; cultures of honour and
shame and the rituals and literary forms through which they found
expression; crime and murder; and visual expressions of ideas of
moral disorder and natural monstrosity, in printed images as well
as garden architecture.
