In Worldly Shakespeare Richard Wilson proposes that the universalism proclaimed in the name of Shakespeare’s playhouse was tempered by his own worldliness, the performative idea that runs through his plays, that if `All the world’s a stage’, then `all the men and women in it’ are `merely players’. This book is a comprehensive rereading of Shakespeare’s plays in light of current debates about free speech and toleration.
Richard Wilson is Sir Peter Hall Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Kingston University, London, and the author of Free Will: Art and power on Shakespeare's stage; Shakespeare in French Theory: King of Shadows; Secret Shakespeare: Essays on theatre, religion and resistance; and Will Power: Studies in Shakespearean authority. He was described by the critic A.D, Nuttall as 'perhaps the most brilliant of the Shakespearean historicists'.
