Shakespeare and Hospitality: Ethics, Politics, and Exchange

David B. Goldstein

0/5 ( ratings)

This volume focuses on hospitality as a theoretically and historically crucial phenomenon in Shakespeare's work with ramifications for contemporary thought and practice. Drawing a multifaceted picture of Shakespeare's scenes of hospitality--with their numerous scenes of greeting, feeding, entertaining, and sheltering--the collection demonstrates how hospitality provides a compelling frame for the core ethical, political, theological, and ecological questions of Shakespeare's time and our own. By reading Shakespeare's plays in conjunction with contemporary theory as well as early modern texts and objects--including almanacs, recipe books, husbandry manuals, and religious tracts -- this book reimagines Shakespeare's playworld as one charged with the risks of hosting and the limits of generosity . This substantial volume maps the terrain of Shakespearean hospitality in its rich complexity, demonstrating the importance of historical, rhetorical, and phenomenological approaches to this diverse subject.
