Alan Stewart
Shakespeare`s Letters

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Shakespeare`s plays are stuffed with letters - 111 appear on stage in all but five of his dramas. But for modern actors, directors, and critics they are frequently an awkward embarrassment. Alan Stewart shows how and why Shakespeare put letters on stage in virtually all of his plays. By reconstructing the very different uses to which letters were put in Shakespeare`s time, and recapturing what it meant to write, send, receive, read, and archive a letter, it throws new light on some of his most familiar dramas. Early modern letters were not private missives sent through an anonymous postal system, but a vital - sometimes the only - means of maintaining contact and sending news between distant locations. Penning a letter was a serious business in a period when writers made their own pen and ink, letter-writing protocols were strict, letters were dispatched by personal messengers or carriers, often received and read in public - and Shakespeare exploited all these features to dramatic… [detailed...]

Shakespeare`s Philosophy: Discovering the Meaning Behind the Plays

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Shakespeare has always been celebrated for the depth of his themes, the vividness of his characters, and the beauty of his poetry. However, the philosophical nature of his opus has often been overlooked. Focusing on Shakespeare`s six most regarded plays— A Midsummer Night`s Dream , Hamlet , Othello , Macbeth , King Lear , and The Tempest —noted philosopher Colin McGinn provides a brilliant analysis of the major philosophical themes embedded in Shakespeare`s work, including the possibility of human knowledge and the threat of skepticism, the nature and persistence of the self, the character of causation as it shapes human affairs, the existence and nature of evil, and the power of language to influence and shape the human mind. McGinn contends that Shakespeare was strongly influenced by the philosophy of Montaigne, a convinced skeptic and unflinching psychological inquirer, whose work was being translated into English at the… [detailed...]

William Kerrigan
Shakespeare`s Promises

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description `It is impossible to imagine any kind of moral life without obligations, and impossible to imagine obligations without types of promises. We are always up against them. Before we ever reflect on what a promise is, we have made them andare expected to make more of them. We are born into nations that enter into treaties and agreements. Promises are with us like gravity. Man is a promising animal.` -- from Shakespeare`s Promises Oaths, vows, contracts, and promises are among the most momentous actions human beings can perform, in art as well as life. Although virtually ignored by literary theorists, these obligations motivate plots, test characters, provide rhetorical occasions, structure ironies, and open thematic horizons. According to William Kerrigan, they had particular importance for Shakespeare, who wrote at a decisive moment in the history of promising, toward the end of its High Christian phase and near the beginning of its metaphysically… [detailed...]

Frederick Turner
Shakespeare`s Twenty-First-Century Economics: The Morality of Love and Money

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `I love you according to my bond,` says Cordelia to her father in King Lear. As the play turns out, Cordelia proves to be an exemplary and loving daughter. A bond is both a legal or financial obligation, and a connection of mutual love. How are these things connected? In As You Like It, Shakespeare describes marriage as a `blessed bond of board and bed`: the emotional, religious, and sexual sides of marriage cannot be detached from its status as a legal and economic contract. These examples are the pith of Frederick Turner`s fascinating new book. Based on the proven maxim that `money makes the world go round,` this engaging study draws from Shakespeare`s texts to present a lexicon of common words, as well as a variety of familiar familial and cultural situations, in an economic context. Making constant recourse to well-known material from Shakespeare`s plays, Turner demonstrates that the terms of money and value permeate our minds and lives even in our most mundane moments. His… [detailed...]

Through nuanced analyses, grounded in the widows’ material circumstances, Kehler uncovers the plays’ negotiations between the opposed poles of residual Catholic precept and Protestant practice—between celibacy and remarriage. Reading from a feminist materialist perspective, this book argues that Shakespeare’s insights into the political and economic pressures the widows face allow them to elude mechanistic ideology. Kehler’s book provides extensive historical background into the various religious and cultural attitudes towards widows in early modern England. [detailed...]
