Closely examining the relationship between the political and the
utopian in five major plays from different phases of Shakespeare's
career, Hugh Grady shows the dialectical link between the earlier
political dramas and the late plays or tragicomedies. Reading
Julius Caesar and Macbeth from the tragic period alongside The
Winter's Tale and Tempest from the utopian end of Shakespeare's
career, with Antony and Cleopatra acting as a transition, Grady
reveals how, in the late plays, Shakespeare introduces a
transformative element of hope while never losing a sharp awareness
of suffering and death. The plays presciently confront dilemmas of
an emerging modernity, diagnosing and indicting instrumental
politics and capitalism as largely disastrous developments leading
to an empty world devoid of meaning and community. Grady
persuasively argues that the utopian vision is a specific
dialectical response to these fears and a necessity in worlds of
injustice, madness and death.
