The volume visits a series of questions about the history of the body and how early modern cultures understand physical ability or vigor, emotional competence or satisfaction, and joy or self-fulfillment. Individual essays investigate the purported disabilities of the "crook-back" King Richard III or the "corpulent" Falstaff, the conflicts between different health-care belief-systems in The Taming of the Shrew and Hamlet, the power of figurative language to delineate or even instigate puberty in the Sonnets or Romeo and Juliet, and the ways in which the powerful or moneyed mediate the access of the poor and injured to cure or even to care. Integrating insights from Disability Studies, Health Studies, and Happiness Studies, this book develops both a detailed literary-historical analysis and a provocative cultural argument about the emphasis we place on popular notions of fitness and contentment today"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029048 650 0 $a Human body in literature. 650 0 $a Health in literature. 650 0 $a Happiness in literature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Shakespeare. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Disease & Health Issues. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Happiness in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00951183 650 7 $a Health in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00953084 650 7 $a Human body in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01899762 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Iyengar, Sujata, $e editor. 830 0 $a Routledge studies in Shakespeare ; $v 12. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171229054953.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=51C9A06E3A6E11E5A08F40DADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
