It breaks important new ground in introducing readers, lay and scholarly alike, to the existence and character of the political culture of the mass of ordinary commoners in Shakespeare's England, as revealed by the recent findings of 'the new social history'. The volume thereby helps to challenge the traditional myths of a non-political commons and a culture of obedience. It also brings together leading Shakespeareans, who digest recent social history, with eminent early modern social historians, who turn their focus on Shakespeare. This genuinely cross-disciplinary approach generates fresh readings of over ten of Shakespeare's plays and locates the impress on Shakespearean drama of popular political thought and pressure in this period of perceived crisis. The volume is unique in engaging and digesting the dramatic importance of the discoveries of the new social history, thereby resituating and revaluing Shakespeare within the social depth of politics. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Political and social views. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Political aspects. $y Elizabeth, 1558-1603 $x Political aspects. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Political aspects. $y James I, 1603-1625 $x Political aspects. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social conditions $y 16th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social conditions $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Middle class $z Great Britain $x History. 700 1 $a Fitter, Chris, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710032717.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=746BD6C2EC6A11E7AF65C16E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
