Combining Environmental History With Close Readings Of Shakespearean Wordplay, Original Typography, And Performance Conditions, This Study Re-wilds The Renaissance Stage. Todd Andrew Borlik.

This study investigates how Shakespeare’s plays engaged with the specific environmental crises and political landscapes of Jacobean Britain. Todd Andrew Borlik, a scholar of early modern literature and ecocriticism, utilizes a synthesis of environmental history, archival research, and textual analysis to argue that Shakespeare was deeply attuned to the ecological anxieties of his time. By examining the intersection of nature and power, the author demonstrates how the playwright’s work reflects the material realities of the Stuart court and the broader landscape of seventeenth-century England.
