Abstract
"Shakespeare Beyond the Green World" by Todd Borlik explores Shakespeare's plays in the context of ecopolitics during the Jacobean period, arguing that Shakespeare was an eco-conscious dramatist engaged in environmental policy disputes at the Jacobean court. The book delves into various landscapes and themes in Shakespeare's works, highlighting how they reflect tensions between nature, history, law, and commerce. Borlik's analysis extends beyond England to show Shakespeare's awareness of environmental destruction caused by human greed, offering a valuable perspective for scholars, teachers, and students interested in Shakespearean studies and ecocriticism.
