Shakespeare, the Renaissance and Empire : Volume II: Poetry, Philosophy and Politics, Hardback Book

Shakespeare, the Renaissance and Empire : Volume II: Poetry, Philosophy and Politics Hardback

Part of the Routledge Studies in Shakespeare series

Hardback

Description

Shakespeare, the Renaissance and Empire: Poetry, Philosophy and Politics is the second volume of this study and builds on the first, which concentrated on related matters, including geography and language.

In both volumes, a key focus is close analysis of the text and an attention to Shakespeare's use of signs, verbal and visual, to represent the world in poetry and prose, in dramatic and non-dramatic work as well as some of the contexts before, during and after the Renaissance.

Shakespeare's representation of character and action in poetry and theatre, his interpretation and subsequent interpretations of him are central to the book as seen through these topics: German Shakespeare, a life and no life, aesthetics and ethics, liberty and tyranny, philosophy and poetry, theory and practice, image and text.

The book also explores the typology of then and now, local and global.
