Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of Shakespeare’s child figures in relation to their own political moment, as well as our own. Politicians are fond of saying that “children are the future.” How did the child become a figure for our political hopes? Joseph Campana’s book locates the source of this idea in transformations of childhood and political sovereignty during the age of Shakespeare, changes spectacularly dramatized by the playwright himself. Shakespeare’s works feature far more child figures—and more politically entangled children—than other literary or theatrical works of the era. Campana delves into this rich corpus to show how children and childhood expose assumptions about the shape of an ideal polity, the nature of citizenship, the growing importance of population and demographics, and the question of what is or is not human. As our ability to imagine viable futures on our planet feels ever more limited, and as children take up legal proceedings to sue on behalf of the future, it behooves us to understand the way past child figures haunt our conversations about intergenerational justice. Shakespeare offers critical precedents for questions we still struggle to answer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new volume in the Shakespeare: The Critical Tradition series increases our knowledge of how Antony and Cleopatra has been received and understood by critics, editors and general readers. The volume provides, in separate sections, both critical opinions about the play across the centuries and an evaluation of their positions within and their impact on the reception of the play. The chronological arrangement of the text-excerpts engages the readers in a direct and unbiased dialogue, and the introduction offers a critical evaluation from a current stance, including modern theories and methods. This volume makes a major contribution to our understanding of the play and of the traditions of Shakespearean criticism surrounding it as they have developed from century to century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation focuses on the body politic in Shakespeare's second tetralogy. Taking an approach indebted to Ernst Kantorowicz and later studies of the king's two bodies, it examines the implicit political theologies of Shakespeare's three kings, through whose words and actions Shakespeare presents a range of ideas regarding the naturalness of the body politic and the implications differing conceptions have for the relationship between members and head. In so doing, Shakespeare demonstrates the difficulty of fully understanding the theoretical and lived implications of one's political theology. The first chapter covers contemporary political ideas that Shakespeare problematizes in the tetralogy. The second chapter argues that in Richard II Shakespeare shows Richard mistreating the body politic while invoking the king's two bodies, actions that lead, with the inevitability of a natural process, to his own destruction; just as Richard must reexamine his ideology, so too the audience must learn to navigate between the two poles of idealism and pragmatism. The third chapter shows how in 1 Henry IV Shakespeare portrays four actions that expand the range of attitudes to political community: the rebellion of Hotspur that fragments the body politic, the disorder of Falstaff that subverts it, the insistence of Henry IV on dominion, and the aspirations of Prince Hal to redeem his time and reputation by orderly reconstitution of the humors of the body politic. The fourth chapter argues that in 2 Henry IV Shakespeare shows Hal failing to incorporate Falstaff into a body politic, which suggests that Hal's self-revelation as a reformed prodigal may not suffice to order his members while respecting their distinctiveness. The fifth chapter focuses on how in Henry V Shakespeare presents Harry as a ruler whose heroic actions and organic language conflict; Harry unifies the body politic but fails to stabilize it completely. I conclude by arguing that through these three portraits, Shakespeare shows ideas of the body politic-not to prescribe a political theology but, rather, to display how readily people err regarding the universality of their political ideals, the real meaning of their content, and the human consequences of those errors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Shakespeare and Memory introduces this vibrant field of study to students and scholars, whilst defining and extending critical debates in the area. The book begins with a series of "Critical Introductions" offering an overview of memory in particular areas of Shakespeare such as theatre, print culture, visual arts, post-colonial adaptation and new media. These essays both introduce the topic but also explore specific areas such as the way in which Shakespeare’s representation in the visual arts created a national and then a global poet. The entries then develop into more specific studies of the genre of Shakespeare, with sections on Tragedy, History, Comedy and Poetry, which include insightful readings of specific key plays. The book ends with a state of the art review of the area, charting major contributions to the debate, and illuminating areas for further study. The international range of contributors explore the nature of memory in religious, political, emotional and economic terms which are not only relevant to Shakespearean times, but to the way we think and read now.
