When Hamlet says he 'wears' Horatio in his 'heart of hearts', he is
claiming that the strongest bonds between people are forged,
stored, and understood in the heart. The Heart in the Age of
Shakespeare sets out to trace the sources and subsequent impact of
Hamlet's conviction. The book presents the case that by studying
the interlocking anatomical, religious, and literary discourses of
the heart between 1550 and 1650 we can open a new window on the
culture that produced such works as The Faerie Queene, Catholic and
Protestant emblem books, George Herbert's lyrics, and William
Harvey's treatise on the circulation of the blood. By crossing
several disciplinary boundaries and combining the material with the
metaphorical, the book identifies a complex set of cardiological
concerns in the dramatic works of Shakespeare and his
contemporaries.
