Shakespeare's remarkable ability to detect and express important
new currents and moods in his culture often led him to dramatise
human interactions based on the presence or absence of tolerance.
Differences of religion, gender, nationality and what is now called
'race' are important in most of Shakespeare's plays, and varied
ways of bridging these differences by means of sympathy and
understanding are often depicted. The full development of a
tolerant society is still incomplete, and this study demonstrates
how the perceptions Shakespeare showed in relation to its earlier
development are still instructive and valuable today. Many recent
studies of Shakespeare's work have focussed on reflections of the
oppression or containment of minority, deviant or non-dominant
groups or outlooks. This book reverses that trend and examines how
Shakespeare was fascinated by the desires that underlie tolerance,
including religion, race and sexuality, through close analysis of
many Shakespearian plays, passages and themes.
