Shakespeare and the Geography of Difference (Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture, Series Number 4)

by John Gillies

Shakespeare's images of the exotic are shown to be firmly based on the margins of contemporary maps; and examination of the icons and emblems of maps raises questions about the mapmakers' overt intentions and instinctive assumptions, and reveals connections between the semiology of a map and that of the theater.
