About The Book
"Fortification and Its Discontents from Shakespeare to Milton" offers a fresh perspective on early modern literature by examining how the rise of fortified cities shaped urban space, community organization, and cultural imagination in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Through the works of key figures such as William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser, John Winthrop, and John Milton, the book explores the tension between the militarized urban space and the literary depiction of these environments. By tracing England's efforts to define and expand its urban areas, particularly the city of London, and the translation of English urban concepts to Ireland and North America, McKeown brings new coherence to the literature of the early modern Atlantic world. This volume illuminates the ways in which literature challenges and reflects the societal shifts driven by the military and political realities of fortified cities.
