| Summary: | The Cambridge Guide to the Worlds of Shakespeare aims to replicate the expansive reach of Shakespeare's global reputation. In pursuit of that vision, this work is transhistorical, international and interdisciplinary. "Shakespeare's World," volume one of the two volume set, maps out the physical, social and imaginative world that Shakespeare and his contemporaries inhabited. Fourteen sections cover such fields as varied as the theater business, science and technology, popular culture and medicine. For each of the volume's broad subject areas, an overview article is followed by a series of shorter essays taking up particular aspects of the subject at hand. Richly illustrated with more than three hundred images, this book brings the world, life and afterlife of Shakespeare to readers, from nonacademic Shakespeare fans and students to theater professionals and Shakespeare scholars. |
