Abstract
Lisa Hopkins connects Shakespeare to Anthony Brewer’s The Lovesick King and Richard Brome’s The Queen’s Exchange to show two related things: first, that the north stands in a charged relationship with the west, and second that where England’s own north begins and ends is partially conditioned by the other countries which lie to the north of it. Hopkins therefore traces the slipperiness of the North in Shakespeare. She homes in on Macbeth as an exemplary engagement with the politics of the North as a site of instability, before moving on to two far less well-known plays by Anthony Brewer and Richard Brome that show the extent to which Shakespeare’s successors drew on his work in order to present their own vision of a North that was fractured, fragile and fluid.
