Focusing on how citizens of early modern England tried to locate
themselves and their nation through geography and travel writing,
Monica Matei-Chesnoiu explores theatrical representations of
Western European space and ethnography. Geographic discourses share
many features with drama in that they appeal to the readers' and
audience's curiosity and imagination. Playwrights use information
derived from geography treatises as vehicles to allegorize
contemporary English issues in a dialogical mode. While geography
and travel texts provide an objective synthesis in describing
Western European nations, dramatic interaction destabilizes any
preconceived notions and submits contrastive views on imagined
global European communities. This book explores representations of
France, Spain, Germany, the Low Countries, and Denmark in a wide
range of geography texts and offers fresh readings of Shakespeare,
Jonson, Marlowe, Middleton, Dekker, Massinger, Marston, and others.
Matei-Chesnoiu examines the changing understanding of world geography in sixteenth-century England and the concomitant involvement of the London theatre in shaping a new perception of Western European space. Fresh readings are offered of Shakespeare, Jonson, Marlowe, Middleton, Dekker, Massinger, Marston, and others.
