First published in 1989, this title explores the relationship
theater and power in the English Renaissance. Shakespeare's Henry
V, Richard II, and Macbeth are examined alongside a range of
cultural materials, including philosophical and historical accounts
of sovereignty, royal portraiture and representations of treason
and punishment. Renaissance theater was far more than a vehicle for
the expression of a political content: it played a constitutive
role in forming the distinctive theory of sovereignty and the
distinctive political subjectivity of the era. By reading
Shakespeare's plays conjunction with other, ideologically charged
forms of representation, the book continues new-historicist efforts
to uncover the complex relations between literary texts and
cultural contexts. Providing an interesting and detailed analysis,
this reissue will be of value to students of Shakespeare and the
English Renaissance, and those concerned with exploring the
intersection between cultural analysis, post-structuralism, and
psychoanalytic interpretation.
