Produktbeschreibung

Fictions of Credit in the Age of Shakespeare argues that practical texts and plays are "equipment for living": practical texts offer strategies for navigating England's culture of credit, and plays explore credit's dangers and possibilities. Dramatic texts show what it feels like to live in credit culture: to live inside a fiction.
