Descrizione

Lloyd Edward Kermode delves into the intricate world of Elizabethan drama, exploring the fascinating interplay between alien identities and English cultural notions during a pivotal period in history. The narrative traverses a rich assortment of dramatic works from the era, highlighting how themes of alienism shaped the theatrical landscape and resonated with contemporary audiences.

Kermode meticulously examines various texts and performances, revealing how playwrights navigated concepts of 'otherness' amid England's expanding horizons. The analysis sheds light on the tension between national identity and foreign influence, considering how characters and narratives reflected both fear and intrigue regarding the unknown.

By situating these dramas within their socio-political context, the author provides a lens through which to understand the complexities of Englishness as it emerged during the late 16th century. This exploration not only uncovers the ideological undercurrents of the time but also invites readers to reflect on the enduring relevance of these themes in today's cultural conversations.

Engaging in a thorough investigation, Kermode's work serves as an essential resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike, illuminating a crucial chapter in the history of English theatre and contributing to ongoing discussions about identity, belonging, and the multifaceted human experience.
