520    Shakespeare and Ecology is the first book to explore the 
       topical contexts that shaped the environmental knowledge 
       and politics of Shakespeare and his audiences. Early 
       modern England experienced unprecedented environmental 
       challenges including climate change, population growth, 
       resource shortfalls, and habitat destruction which 
       anticipate today's globally magnified crises. Shakespeare 
       wove these events into the poetic textures and embodied 
       action of his drama, contributing to the formation of a 
       public ecological consciouness, while opening creative 
       pathways for re-imagining future human relationships with 
       the natural world and non-human life. This book begins 
       with an overview of ecological modernity across 
       Shakespeare's work before focusing on three major 
       environmental controversies in particular plays: 
       deforestation in the Merry Wives of Windsor and The 
       Tempest; profit-driven agriculture in As You Like It, and 
       gunpowder warfare and remedial cultivation in Henry IV 
       Parts One and Two, Henry V, and Macbeth. A fourth chapter 
       examines the interdependency of local and global eco-
       relations in Cymbeline, and the final chapter explores 
       Darwinian micro-ecologies in Hamlet and Antony and 
       Cleopatra. An epilogue suggests that Shakespeare's 
       greatest potential for mobilizing modern ecological ideas 
       and practices lies in contemporary performace. -- from
