Hamilton, Jennifer Mae, author. This contentious storm : an ecocritical and performance history of King Lear / Jennifer Mae Hamilton. This Contentious Storm London, England : Bloomsbury Academic, 2017. 1 online resource (272 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Description based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources. "From providential apocalypticism to climate change, this ground-breaking ecocritical study traces the performance history of the storm scene in King Lear to explore our shifting, fraught and deeply ideological relationship with stormy weather across time. This Contentious Storm offers a new ecocritical reading of Shakespeare's classic play, illustrating how the storm has been read as a sign of the providential, cosmological, meteorological, psychological, neurological, emotional, political, sublime, maternal, feminine, heroic and chaotic at different points in history. The big ecocritical history charted here reveals the unstable significance of the weather and mobilises details of the play's dramatic narrative to figure the weather as a force within self, society and planet." Includes bibliographical references and index. Introduction: the case for King Lear -- Ecocriticism. Meteorological reading -- "What is the cause of thunder?": the storm's three ambiguities -- Cataclysmic shame: three views of Lear's mortal body in the storm -- Performance history. Ecocritical big history -- The spectacular Jacobean theatre -- Storms of fortune: industrial technology and Nahum Tate, c.1680-c.1900 -- Lear's head: the rise of the psychological metaphor, 1908-1955 -- Towards the flood, 1962-2016 -- Epilogue: the art of necessity. Natural history. Storms in literature. |
