Description

Shakespeare's Politics is an invaluable introduction to the political world of Shakespeare's plays.

It includes passages from the plays together with extracts from contemporary historical and political documents.

The clear, jargon-free narrative introduces and explains the extracts and provides an overview of the key political issues that were debated in late Elizabethan and early Stuart England.

The introduction outlines the historical context in which Shakespeare wrote and explains the intellectual principles that informed early modern thinking about politics.
