While our physical surroundings fashion our identities, we, in
turn, fashion the natural elements in which or with which we live.
This complex interaction between the human and the non-human
already resonated in Shakespeare's plays and poems. As details of
the early modern supra- and infra-celestial landscape feature in
his works, this dictionary brings to the fore Shakespeare's
responsiveness to and acute perception of his 'environment' and it
covers the most significant uses of words related to this concept.
In doing so, it also examines the epistemological changes that were
taking place at the turn of the 17th century in a society which
increasingly tried to master nature and its elements. For this
reason, the intersections between the natural and the supernatural
receive special emphasis. All in all, this dictionary offers a wide
variety of resources that takes stock of the 'green criticism' that
recently emerged in Shakespeare studies and provides a clear and
complete overview of the idea, imagery and language of environment
in the canon.
