Shakespeare’s Political Drama: The History Plays and the Roman Plays by Alexander Leggatt
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 1.9MB
Overview: I should begin by stressing the limits of this study. There is, of course, political interest everywhere in Shakespeare. Macbeth and Hamlet are concerned with kingship, Measure for Measure with law, The Tempest with power. Cymbeline has surprising things to say about war, peace, and international relations generally. Everywhere there are rulers, laws, contracts, questions of authority and obedience. The range widens if, as frequently happens these days, the term ‘political’ is defined to include any act with a social dimension. In this light there is a political dimension in the relations of the sexes in The Taming of the Shrew and As You Like It, or of parents and children in Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. But if everything is political then nothing is, for the word has lost its edge.
