Abstract
In ten essays spanning more than three decades of scholarship, Charles R. Forker, the author of Skull Beneath the Skin: Achievement of John Webster, explores the dramatic and poetic styles of Shakespeare and his contemporaries in relation to Elizabethan ideas of space and time, image patterns and aesthetic form in drama, cultural contexts (the family, the state, the individual), and political and religious values.Forker has divided his essays into three sections. essays in the first section, The Stage, explore theatrical self-consciousness; those in The Green World examine the use of pastoral and natural settings as significant factors in dramatization; the essays in the final section, The Family, discuss ideas of dramatic engagement and disengagement in major Elizabethan playwrights other than Shakespeare.
