Shakespeare on the Ecological Surface delves into the intricate relationship between contemporary performance and ecocriticism, employing the concept of the'surface' to explore its multifaceted dimensions. Within each section, the author examines the surfaces of slick, smoke, sky, steam, soil, slime, snail, silk, skin, and stage, seeking to establish connections between ecocriticism, activism, critical theory, Shakespeare, and performance. While the term'surface' was not explicitly used in Shakespeare's works, Liz Oakley-Brown demonstrates how contemplating Shakespearean surfaces enables readers to delve into the politics of Elizabethan and Jacobean culture. Moreover, she uncovers surprising parallels between Shakespeare's era and our current political and ecological challenges.
The book delves into Shakespeare's innovative use of ecological surfaces to interpret and understand various aspects of his plays and poems. It explores how Shakespeare employs these surfaces to depict characters' public selves, the interconnections between characters and the natural world, the written surfaces upon which words are inscribed, and the physical surfaces upon which plays are staged. By examining these diverse surfaces, the book offers a profound and enlightening perspective for scholars and enthusiasts of Shakespeare, early modern culture, ecocriticism, performance, and activism.
