Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Bruckner (English, Chatham U.) and Brayton (English and American literatures, Middlebury College) present a collection of 13 papers that they characterize as offering "an ecocritical reading of Shakespeare and a Shakespearean redefinition of ecocriticism," by which they appear to mean that readings of Shakespeare are deployed in part to question the assumptions of the field of ecocriticism itself (with the presentist/historicist debate looming large), if not particularly in any uniform direction. Topics include the role played by animals in the discursive and material formation of the early modern social body as reflected in the thematic significance of animals in Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet, the significant of waste and excrement in Antony and Cleopatra, The Taming of the Shrew and human-animal relations in the light of early modern cultural and agricultural practices, and narrative responses to dangerous weather in As You Like It and King Lear as instructive for current debates over climate change.
