Thomas Lodge and Elizabethan Republicanism
Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: Andrew Hadfield’s article seeks to locate Thomas Lodge’s The Wounds of Civil War in the context of early modern English republicanism—a context which, Hadfield argues, was also to have a great deal of importance to the early Shakespeare. Hadfield sees Lodge’s play as a pivotal text in the formation of English literary republicanism, informed by classical sources and possibly using them for the audience to draw parallels to the dynastic struggles that characterised English history.
