This is the first book to view Shakespeare's plays from the
prospect of the premodern death arts, not only the ars moriendi
tradition but also the plurality of cultural expressions of memento
mori, funeral rituals, commemorative activities, and rhetorical
techniques and strategies fundamental to the performance of the
work of dying, death, and the dead. The volume is divided into two
sections: first, critically nuanced examinations of Shakespeare's
corpus and then, second, of Hamlet exclusively as the ultimate
proving ground of the death arts in practice. This book revitalizes
discussion around key and enduring themes of mortality by reframing
Shakespeare's plays within a newly conceptualized historical
category that posits a cultural divide-at once epistemological and
phenomenological-between premodernity and the Enlightenment.
