Publisher Synopsis
This collection will be really helpful to those who have grappled in capitvated puzzlement with Shakespeare's late plays. The Catholic sensibility; the philospher's heroism of his stand-in, Prospero; the reconciliation of tragic and comic outcomes; the restorative power of art; the deformation of the plays in postmodern theory-these themes are just a sample of the scope and variety of these esays. -- Eva Brann, St. John's College This volume contains essays by some of the world's leading students of Shakespearean politics on his last 'problem' plays. It is a must read for anyone who wishes to partake of Shakespeare's political wisdom-or simply to understand the plays themselves! -- Catherine H. Zuckert Read more...
