Description
Shakespeare's Storms explores the playwright's use of storms in his plays. From the apocalyptic tempests of King Lear to the fleeting thunder imagery of Hamlet, Shakespeare employed storm as a dramatic device to investigate representation in the theatre. This study examines the special effects used to represent storms in early modern playhouses and how these effects influenced Shakespeare's dramatic language. Chapters on Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Pericles, and The Tempest reveal how Shakespeare developed his use of storms over time, taking them to new extremes towards the end of his career. By tracing the development of storm imagery in Shakespeare's plays, Jones offers nuanced readings of the playwright's meteorological understanding and explores the intersection of theatre history and modern theories of literature and the environment.
