The Routledge Handbook of Shakespeare and Animals by Karen Raber,Holly Dugan Pdf
Shakespeare’s plays have a long and varied performance history. The relevance of his plays in literary studies cannot be understated, but only recently have scholars been looking into the presence and significance of animals within the canon. Readers will quickly find—without having to do extensive research—that the plays are teeming with animals! In this Handbook, Karen Raber and Holly Dugan delve deep into Shakespeare’s World to illuminate and understand the use of animals in his span of work. This volume supplies a valuable resource, offering a broad and thorough grounding in the many ways animal references and the appearance of actual animals in the plays can be interpreted. It provides a thorough overview; demonstrates rigorous, original research; and charts new frontiers in the field through a broad variety of contributions from an international group of well-known and respected scholars.
An Encyclopedia of Flora and Fauna in English and American Literature by Peter Milward Pdf
The aim of this encyclopedia is to survey the fauna and flora of England and America not from the viewpoint of zoological or botanical science but of literature. Given the excessive broadness of the endeavour, this is done in a personally selective manner, with preferences toward English over American, and poetry over prose. Two sources in particular take pride of place - the Authorized King James Version of the Bible, and Shakespeare.

Natural History of Shakespeare by William Shakespeare Pdf
Excerpt from Natural History of Shakespeare: Being Selections of Flowers, Fruits, and Animals In publishing the present work, I feel that some short explanation is necessary. I was first led to take up the Natural History of Shakespeare from a short paragraph I saw in the "Garden" a few years ago, and was struck with the very large number of flowers, fruits; vegetables, etc., mentioned; as we must remember Shakespeare's object was not to write of trees and plants, but to use them as illustrations, and also that, three centuries ago, very little was known of botany, more especially of English wild flowers. With regard to the Animal Kingdom, it is merely a continuation of the former, as I had no idea of ever completing my work when I commenced it two years ago.

Shakespeare and Animals by Karen Raber,Karen Edwards Pdf
This encyclopaedic account of animals in Shakespeare's plays and poems, provides readers with a much-needed resource by which to navigate the recent outpouring of critical and historical work on the topic. This dictionary extends its coverage to include insects, fish and mythic creatures, as well as the places, practices and lore pertaining to all animal-oriented experiences of early modern life. It emphasizes the role of animality in defining character, and is attentive to the instabilities of the human-animal boundary as they were theatrically represented, exploited and interrogated, but it is also concerned with the material presence of animals on stage and in everyday life in Shakespeare's world. The volume is a new tool for instructors, but is also a resource for critics and scholars in the many disciplines engaged with animal studies, posthumanist theory, ecostudies and cultural studies.
