How were justice and forgiveness understood by the audience who first watched King Lear; how were love and romance viewed by those who first saw Romeo and Juliet? In England in the Age of Shakespeare, Jeremy Black takes readers on a tour of life in the streets, homes, farms, churches, and palaces of the Bard's era. Panning from play to audience and back again, Black shows how Shakespeare's plays would have been experienced and interpreted by those who paid to see them. From the dangers of travel to the indignities of everyday life in teeming London, Black explores the jokes, political and economic references, and small asides that Shakespeare's audiences would have recognized. These moments of recognition often reflected the audience's own experiences of what it was to, as Hamlet says, 'grunt and sweat under a weary life.' Black's clear and sweeping approach seeks to reclaim Shakespeare from the ivory tower and make the plays' histories more accessible to the public for whom the plays were always intended"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Includes index. 505 0 $a The imagination of the age -- The world of the plays -- A dynamic country -- London -- Narrating the past : history plays -- The narrative of politics -- The political imagination -- Social conditions, structures, and assumptions -- Health and medicine -- Cultural trends -- England and Europe -- The wider world : locating prospero -- As we like him. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Homes and haunts $z England. 651 0 $a England $x Social life and customs $y 16th century. 651 0 $a England $x Social life and customs $y 17th century. 651 0 $a England $x Intellectual life $y 16th century. 651 0 $a England $x Intellectual life $y 17th century. 650 0 $a English literature $y Early modern, 1500-1700. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Black, Jeremy, 1955- author. $t England in the age of Shakespeare $d Bloomington, Indiana : Indiana University Press, [2019] $z 9780253042347 $w (DLC) 2019018503 941 $a 3 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200319010332.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217020602.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105025025.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=35788A08E5A311E9B7B99A5997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
