The departmentalism of American universities has doubtless much to
recommend it. It indicates that exuberance is not a sufficient sub
stitute for scholarship, that, for better or for worse, every
scholar today must be something of a specialist. But when any great
writer and great thinker reaches out and grasps the whole of human
life, the study of his work transcends specialization. And while
exuberance may not replace scholarship, it may accompany it. Most
of my work has been done in the history of political philosophy. I
have dared to overstep departmental boundaries, because I believe
that Shakespeare has something to say to political philosophy. I am
not the first to express this view. Whether I express it well or
badly, I shall not be the last. I want to thank Leo Strauss, my
teacher. He has read the manus cript and given me the benefit of
his insight and judgment. I want to thank Richard Kennington, who
has taken so much time from his own work to comment meticulously
and constructively on this work as on other things I have written.
His help has been generous, and my appreciation is deep. I must, in
particular, thank my colleague, Adolph Lowe. He has perused this
study, much of it in several versions. Through long walks in
Manchester, Vermont, we have discussed my work and his comments.
Usually his comments have been compelling. I can regret only that I
am completely unqualified to reciprocate."
