Shakespeare's Drama of Exile

Overview

This text defines the Shakespearean canon, from ""The Two Gentlemen of Verona"" to ""The Two Noble Kinsmen"". It traces the influences on the drama of exile, examining the legal context of banishment (pursued against Catholics, gypsies and vagabonds) in early modern England; the self-consciousness of exile as an amatory trope; and the discourses by which exile could be reshaped into comedy or tragedy. Across genres, Shakespeare's plays reveal a fascination with exile as the source of linguistic crisis, shaped by the utterance of the word ""banished"".
