Written by a team of leading international scholars, The Cambridge
Companion to Shakespeare and War illuminates the ways Shakespeare's
works provide a rich and imaginative resource for thinking about
the topic of war. Contributors explore the multiplicity of
conflicting perspectives his dramas offer: war depicted from
chivalric, masculine, nationalistic, and imperial perspectives; war
depicted as a source of great excitement and as a theater of honor;
war depicted from realistic or skeptical perspectives that expose
the butchery, suffering, illness, famine, degradation, and havoc it
causes. The essays in this volume examine the representations and
rhetoric of war throughout Shakespeare's plays, as well as the
modern history of the war plays on stage, in film, and in
propaganda. This book offers fresh perspectives on Shakespeare's
multifaceted representations of the complexities of early modern
warfare, while at the same time illuminating why his perspectives
on war and its consequences continue to matter now and in the
future.
