The numbers of strangers increased dramatically in the late sixteenth century, as refugees fled religious persecution in continental Europe and sought sanctuary in Protestant England. In the context of this book, strangers are not only persons ethnically or racially different from their English counterparts, be they immigrants, refugees, or visitors. The term also includes those who transgress or are simply excluded by their status from established legal norms by virtue of their faith, sexuality, or mode of employment. Each chapter investigates a particular category of 'stranger'. Topics include the treatment of actors in late Elizabethan England and the punishment of 'counterfeits' (Measure for Measure); the standing of refugees under English law and the reception of these people by the indigenous population (The Comedy of Errors); the establishment of 'Troynovant' as an international trading centre on the banks of the Thames (Troilus and Cressida); the role of law and the state in determining the rights of citizens and aliens (The Merchant of Venice); and the disenfranchised, estranged position of the citizen in a dysfunctional society and an acephalous realm (King Lear)"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Knowledge and learning. 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029048 650 0 $a Law in literature. 650 0 $a Strangers in literature. 650 0 $a Outsiders in literature. 650 0 $a Law $z Great Britain $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Law $z Great Britain $x History $y 17th century. 650 7 $a Law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993678 650 7 $a Law in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994014 650 7 $a Outsiders in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01049263 650 7 $a Strangers in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01134321 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1500-1699 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010816.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C4260142E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
