This is the first collaborative volume to place Shakespeare's works
within the landscape of early modern political thought. Until
recently, literary scholars have not generally treated Shakespeare
as a participant in the political thought of his time, unlike his
contemporaries Ben Jonson, Edmund Spenser and Philip Sidney. At the
same time, historians of political thought have rarely turned their
attention to major works of poetry and drama. A distinguished
international and interdisciplinary team of contributors examines
the full range of Shakespeare's writings in order to challenge
conventional interpretations of plays central to the canon, such as
Hamlet; open up novel perspectives on works rarely considered to be
political, such as the Sonnets; and focus on those that have been
largely neglected, such as The Merry Wives of Windsor. The result
is a coherent and challenging portrait of Shakespeare's distinctive
engagement with the characteristic questions of early modern
political thought.
