This issue of the Jahrbuch will seek to discuss the contradictory perspectives on early modern London, focusing in particular on the multilayered relationships between the city and the theatre as well as on Shakespeare’s engagement with the metropolis. This will be complemented by contributions discussing the role of Shakespeare for the metropolis from the sixteenth century until today.
