Drama and the Politics of Generational Conflict in Shakespeare\u2019s England examines the intersection between art and culture and explains how ideas about age circulated in early modern England. Stephannie Gearhart illustrates how a variety of texts \u2013 including drama by Shakespeare, Jonson, and Middleton \u2013 placed elders\u2019 and youths\u2019 voices in dialogue with one another to construct the period\u2019s ideology of age and shape elder-youth relations.
