  From Shakespeare's 'green-eyed monster' to the 'green thought in a green shade' in Andrew Marvell's The Garden, the color green was curiously prominent and resonant in English culture during the 16th and 17th centuries. This title considers the significance of the color in the literature, visual arts, and popular culture of early modern England.
