What is the nature of romantic love and erotic desire in
Shakespeare's work? In this erudite and yet accessible study, David
Schalkwyk addresses this question by exploring the historical
contexts, theory and philosophy of love. Close readings of
Shakespeare's plays and poems are delivered through the lens of
historical texts from Plato to Montaigne, and modern writers
including Jacques Lacan, Jean-Luc Marion, Ludwig Wittgenstein,
Jacques Derrida, Alain Badiou and Stanley Cavell. Through these
studies, it is argued that Shakespeare has no single or overarching
concept of love, and that in Shakespeare's work, love is not an
emotion. Rather, it is a form of action and disposition, to be
expressed and negotiated linguistically.
