Excerpt from Shakespeare and the Supernatural: A Brief Study of Folklore, Superstition, and Witchcraft in Macbeth, Midsummer Night's Dream and the Tempest In the three plays under discussion the denizens of the unseen world are evidenced as powers which move mankind. As each play unfolded itself to me, so have I endeavoured to write, feeling that the author's words could best illustrate his meaning. This little work was prepared as a paper for the Stratford-upon-Avon Shakespeare Club and read in November 1904. The generous reception then given it has encouraged me to lay it before the public with all "its imperfections on its head". Asking only that a kind indulgence may be shown this tribute to one who worked not only for his own land but for all lands, and whose influence is not for an age but for all time.

Bringing together recent scholarship on religion and the spatial imagination, Kristen Poole examines how changing religious beliefs and transforming conceptions of space were mutually informative in the decades around 1600. Supernatural Environments in Shakespeare's England explores a series of cultural spaces that focused attention on interactions between the human and the demonic or divine: the deathbed, purgatory, demonic contracts and their spatial surround, Reformation cosmologies and a landscape newly subject to cartographic surveying. It examines the seemingly incongruous coexistence of traditional religious beliefs and new mathematical, geometrical ways of perceiving the environment. Arguing that the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century stage dramatized the phenomenological tension that resulted from this uneasy confluence, this groundbreaking study considers the complex nature of supernatural environments in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus and Shakespeare's Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth and The Tempest.
