The special section for this volume looks at Shakespeare and ecology, with eight papers on such topics as economies of nature in Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Globe and England's woods, vegetable
memorabilia in the Sonnets, and cognitive ecology as a framework for Shakespearean studies. Four general articles discuss Venus on the Thames, the French source of the earliest surviving Arabic
Hamlet, Mount Hecla and Hamlet's infernal geography, and Hamlet and consumer culture. Reviews of recently published literature are also provided. Annotation 穢2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
