"A brilliant and bold contribution to both Shakespeare studies and to the emerging field of eco-criticism. Eloquently written, this is a thorough literary analysis of the status of the elements and environment as symbols, metaphors and crucially, as material phenomena.-- ""Dympna C. Callaghan, Syracuse University"" Chiari's work will be of value to scholars and students looking for a comprehensive account of the intersections of weather, climate, and environment in some of Shakespeare's most familiar texts.--Karen L. Raber ""Shakespeare Studies"" In its profusion of material, this book is like the River Nile as imagined in Antony and Cleopatra: fecund and teeming with life.--Tom Rutter, University of Sheffield ""Early Modern Literary Studies"""
