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 back cover. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Shakespeare, William,|d1564-1616|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 10 Shakespeare, William,|d1564-1616|xKnowledge|xNatural history. 600 17 Shakespeare, William,|d1564-1616|2fast 650 0 Ecology in literature. 650 7 DRAMA|xEnglish, Irish, Scottish, Welsh.|2bisacsh 650 7 Ecology in literature|2fast 650 7 Natural history|2fast 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMartin, Randall, 1958-|tShakespeare and ecology.|bFirst edition|z9780199567027|w(OCoLC)908374791 830 0 Oxford Shakespeare topics. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1134680|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
