Presenting a background study of honor, the author compares ancient
concepts with the sympathetic restatements of them that appeared
during the Renaissance. He places Shakespeare's plays in the
context of these Renaissance ideas, pointing up the sharp conflict
between Christian morality and the revived pagan humanism. He
demonstrates by pertinent evidence from the plays that Shakespeare
favored humanist values over Christian values. Originally published
in 1960. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
