| Description | This introduction presents an overview of key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book examines the mock foreign languages and also offers audiences the opportunity to understand them. It considers the study of modern languages in England in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries and the anxious discourses about the influence of foreign languages on English that emerged in the same period. The book explains the various audible exchanges between English and alien in order to argue that theater offers its audiences a destabilizing engagement with linguistic variety that stresses proximity and the possibilities for translation within the playhouse. It presents the emerging sense of how local identities and global knowledge in early modern England were shaped by encounters with nearby lands, particularly encounters staged for aural consumption. The book describes the devolution of the United Kingdom and the political and economic integration of Europe.This introduction presents an overview of key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book.
