by Karen Edwards e Karen Raber

178,88€ + 10% CARD

Shakespeare And Science - A Dictionary

by Katherine Walker

178,88€ + 10% CARD

 With the recent turn to science studies and interdisciplinary research in Shakespearean scholarship, Shakespeare and Science: A Dictionary, provides a pedagogical resource for students and scholars. In charting Shakespeare''s engagement with natural philosophical discourse, this edition shapes the future of Shakespearean scholarship and pedagogy significantly, appealing to students entering the field and current scholars in interdisciplinary research on the topic alongside the non-professional reader seeking to understand Shakespeare''s language and early modern scientific practices. Shakespeare''s works respond to early modern culture''s rapidly burgeoning interest in how new astronomical theories, understandings of motion and change, and the cataloging of objects, vegetation, and animals in the natural world could provide new knowledge. To cite a famous example, Hamlet''s letter to Ophelia plays with the differences between the Ptolemaic and Copernican notions of the earth''s movement: "Doubt that the sun doth move" may either be, in the Ptolemaic view, an earnest plea or, in the Copernican system, a purposeful equivocation. The Dictionary contextualizes such moments and scientific terms that Shakespeare employs, creatively and critically, throughout his poetry and drama. The focus is on Shakespeare''s multiform uses of language, rendering accessible to students of Shakespeare such terms as "firmament," "planetary influence," and "retrograde."

Shakespeare And The Environment: A Dictionary

by Sophie Chiari

178,88€ + 10% CARD

 While our physical surroundings fashion our identities, we, in turn, fashion the natural elements in which or with which we live. This complex interaction between the human and the non-human already resonated in Shakespeare''s plays and poems. As details of the early modern supra- and infra-celestial landscape feature in his works, this dictionary brings to the fore Shakespeare''s responsiveness to and acute perception of his ''environment'' and it covers the most significant uses of words related to this concept. In doing so, it also examines the epistemological changes that were taking place at the turn of the 17th century in a society which increasingly tried to master nature and its elements. For this reason, the intersections between the natural and the supernatural receive special emphasis. All in all, this dictionary offers a wide variety of resources that takes stock of the ''green criticism'' that recently emerged in Shakespeare studies and provides a clear and complete overview of the idea, imagery and language of environment in the canon.

Shakespeare'S Religious Language - A Dictionary

by R. Chris Hassel Jr.

41,72€ + 10% CARD

 Religious issues and discourse are key to an understanding of Shakespeare''s plays and poems. This dictionary discusses over 1000 words and names in Shakespeare''s works that have a religious connotation. Its unique word-by-word approach allows equal consideration of the full nuance of each of these words, from ''abbess'' to ''zeal''. It also gradually reveals the persistence, the variety, and the sophistication of Shakespeare''s religious usage. Frequent attention is given to the prominence of Reformation controversy in these words, and to Shakespeare''s often ingenious and playful metaphoric usage of them. Theological commonplaces assume a major place in the dictionary, as do overt references to biblical figures, biblical stories and biblical place-names; biblical allusions; church figures and saints.
