About this book

Exile defines the Shakespearean canon, from The Two Gentlemen of Verona to The Two Noble Kinsmen . This book 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 that word 'Banished'.

Reviews

Shakespeare's Drama of Exile is a deftly woven study...admirably researched and judicious in its claims. - Shakespeare

'Kingsley-Smith draws attention to a prominent theme in early modern drama...a deftly- woven study...admirably researched and judicious in its claims.' - Mark Hutchings
