Shakespeare and Theory
Series Editor: Evelyn Gajowski
This series provides a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical developments that have dominated Shakespeare studies since the advent of postmodernism, as well as those that are emerging at the present moment.
Each volume provides a clear definition of a particular theory; explains its key concepts; surveys its major theorists and critics; situates it in the context of contemporary political, social, and economic developments; analyses its significance in Shakespeare studies; and offers a wealth of suggested resources for further investigation
Shakespeare and Ecocritical Theory
By: Gabriel Egan
About Shakespeare and Ecocritical Theory
Combining the latest scientific and philosophical understanding of humankind’s place in the world with interpretative methods derived from other politically inflected literary criticism, ecocriticism is providing new insights into literary works both ancient and modern. With case-study analyses of the tragedies, comedies, histories and late romances, this book is a wide-ranging introduction to reading Shakespeare in the light of contemporary ecocritical theory. - See more at: http://bloomsbury.com/uk/shakespeare-and-ecocritical-theory-9781441145529/#sthash.jLl66srk.dpuf
