... Been at Peace: The Contemporary Foundations of Shakespeare's Cataclysmic Imagery (Concluded)Richard J. Jaarsma with Edward L. Odenwald Though obviously much affected by massive storms, floods, droughts, and lengthy periods of extremely cold weather, the Elizabethans and Jacobeans apparently reserved the greatest share of whatever capacity for terror they had left for the phenomena of thunder and lightning, and such cosmic occurrences as meteors, comets, and eclipses of the Sun and Moon.
