Exploring the rich range of meanings that Shakespeare finds in the
natural world, this book fuses ecocritical approaches to
Renaissance literature with recent thinking about the significance
of religion in Shakespeare's plays. MacFaul offers a clear
introduction to some of the key problems in Renaissance natural
philosophy and their relationship to Reformation theology, with
individual chapters focusing on the role of animals in
Shakespeare's universe, the representation of rural life, and the
way in which humans' consumption of natural materials transforms
their destinies. These discussions enable powerful new readings of
Shakespeare's plays, including A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You
Like It, King Lear, Macbeth, The Tempest, The Winter's Tale, and
the history plays. Proposing that Shakespeare's representation of
the relationship between man and nature anticipated that of the
Romantics, this volume will interest scholars of Shakespeare
studies, Renaissance drama and literature, and ecocritical studies
of Shakespeare.
