Supernatural Environments in Shakespeare's England explores a series of cultural spaces that focused attention on interactions between the human and the demonic or divine: the deathbed, purgatory, demonic contracts and their spatial surround, Reformation cosmologies and a landscape newly subject to cartographic surveying. It examines the seemingly incongruous coexistence of traditional religious beliefs and new mathematical, geometrical ways of perceiving the environment. Arguing that the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century stage dramatized the phenomenological tension that resulted from this uneasy confluence, this groundbreaking study considers the complex nature of supernatural environments in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus and Shakespeare's Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth and The Tempest"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a English drama $y Early modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Supernatural in literature. 650 0 $a Space in literature. 650 0 $a Supernatural $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Supernatural $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Religion and literature $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Religion and literature $z England $x History $y 17th century. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717023023.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116032021.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E8559BBA6A8C11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
