Elizabeth Frazer

Opis

This book develops an original approach to theories of political power and seeks to show the particular value of examining these issues through the frame of Shakespeare's plays.

Recenzje

This illuminating book analyzes the full range of human relationships, divisions, and conflicts represented by Shakespeare through the lens of political theory. By exploring the problems that animate the plays, Frazer reveals not only that dramatic action is fundamentally political, but also that the meaning of politics is by its nature contested.
