This book is the first collection to assess a range of Shakespeare's plays in relation to the theory of the carnivalesque. Contributors re-historicize the carnivalesque in different ways, offering developed applications, or critiques, of Bakhtin's thought as expounded in Rabelais and His World Following an introductory overview of Bakhtin's ideas, the grotesque body looms large in such figures as Jack Cade, Falstaff and Cardinal Wolsey. Elsewhere the Dance of Death jostles with folk custom and calendrical festival. The retrospective view examines the religious roots of Bakhtin's thought in Plato and Erasmus; another approach locates the emergence of bourgeois hygiene in Renaissance culture; while Hamlet looks before and after, caught within the cycle of carnival play. The variety and richness of the critical and theoretical directions writing to be explored becomes apparent -- in an original contribution to the study of Shakespeare and the early modern period."
