Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses Shakespeare's noticeable silence on the popular topic of smoking during the Elizabethan era. Many playwrights and poets made frequent references to the use of tobacco, but Shakespeare, despite his extensive vocabulary, never once mentions it. The author explores potential reasons for this deliberate omission. While some may conclude that Shakespeare considered the practice beneath mention, the author suggests that the playwright may have been intentionally avoiding a topic that could have drawn the ire of King James I, who famously despised the habit. The book provides a deep analysis of the socio-cultural significance of smoking in Shakespeare's time and sheds light on the playwright's nuanced understanding of the relationship between art, societal norms, and royal authority.
