The Animal-Lore of Shakespeare's Time: Including Quadrupeds, Birds, Reptiles, Fish and Insects (Cambridge Library Collection - Shakespeare and Renaissance Drama)

Emma Phipson

4.9/5 (32955 ratings)

Description:Shakespeare's plays contain a rich abundance of metaphors, similes and phrases relating to animals and the natural world, much of which can seem obscure to us today. First published in 1883, Emma Phipson's classic study sets in context the animal lore of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries to show how it affected the literature of the time. Drawing on a collection of compelling sources, this book explores the beliefs about natural science that influenced the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Phipson considers obscure writings by naturalists and antiquarians on a wide range of animals from the familiar to the exotic, and from the real to the mythical. Whether discussing hedgehogs or unicorns, the text shows how the Elizabethans' understanding of animals was coloured by hunting, travel, folklore and the Bible, and how this had a lasting impact upon language and culture.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
