Treason by Words: Literature, Law, and Rebellion in Shakespeare's England was written by Rebecca Lemon and published by Cornell University Press in 2006. During her reign, Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603) was concerned about codifying and elucidating actions and behaviors that were to be deemed treasonous. King James I(1603-1625) did the same following Queen Elizabeth's reign. And this was before any attempts to overthrow the sovereign occurred during either reign. As the codification of treasonous acts became central to each of their reigns, various plays of the day (16th century) explored treason on the stage. Treason by words had moved into the literature of the day.[1][2]
