Explores how cultural conceptions of mobility and the road contribute to identity and culture in early modern Britain This book brings together thirteen essays, by both established and emerging scholars, which examine the most influential meanings of roads in early modern literature and culture. Chapters develop our understanding of the place of the road in the early modern imagination and open various windows on a geography which may by its nature seem passing or trivial but is in fact central to all conceptions of movement. They also shed new light on perhaps the most astonishing achievement of early modern plays: their use of one small, bare space to suggest an amazing variety of physical and potentially metaphysical locations. Lisa Hopkins is Professor of English at Sheffield Hallam University. Bill Angus is Lecturer in Early Modern Literature at Massey University in New Zealand.
Lisa Hopkins is Professor of English at Sheffield Hallam University and co-editor of Shakespeare, the journal of the British Shakespeare Association.

She is a vice-president of the Marlowe Society and a previous joint winner of the Hoffman Award for Distinguished Publication on Christopher Marlowe. Bill teaches at Massey University in New Zealand. His research is mainly in Shakespeare and the early modern period. He is currently exploring representations of the crossroads a place of transformative power and spiritual binding, in early modern and other cultures. This encompasses histories of wandering, place magic, judicial execution, the regulation of burial, and theories of space and liminality.
