Publisher Synopsis
"Humoring the Body challenges our familiar understanding of the relationship between early modern subjects and their surroundings. Paster reveals a Shakespearean landscape saturated in feeling.... Paster's book is lively, colorful and often very funny. Its most striking achievement is to reveal not only how Shakespeare's men and women inhabited the world, but also how the world inhabited them in return." (Times Literary Supplement)" Read more...
