Resumen
With an interdisciplinary approach, this paper studies how Shakespeare had to deal with Elizabethan censorship, which forbade staging weddings that were the expected happy ending for any comedy. However, when it came to aristocratic unions, surrounded by luxurious feasts, as well as rituals and magical practices to ensure their prosperity and fertile offspring, he restaged those nuptial ceremonies in the form of courtly masques, pageants or analogous metatheatrical devices. Through them he was able to offer profound insights about the limits and possibilities of the dramatic art, engaged in a radical process of change in Early Modern England. He also drew on related genres, such as the epithalamia, and medieval traditions, as it can be seen in AYLI, TT, LLL and AMND.
