Shakespeare's Political Imagination
The Arden Shakespeare (Verlag)
978-1-350-17397-2 (ISBN)
Philip Goldfarb Styrt argues that settings are a powerful component in Shakespeare’s worlds that not only function as physical locations, but are a mechanism through which he communicates the political and social orders of the plays. Reading the plays in light of these social and political contexts reveals Shakespeare’s dramatic method: how he used competing cultural narratives about other cultures to situate the action of his plays. These fresh insights encourage us to move away from overly localized or universalized readings of the plays and re-discover hidden moments and meanings that have long been obscured.
Philip Goldfarb Styrt is Assistant Professor of English at St. Ambrose University, USA. His work focuses on the interaction between history, politics and drama, and has been published in Shakespeare Quarterly, SEL: Studies in English Literature 1500–1900 and Modern Drama among others.
