This book includes essays by leading authors on Shakespeare drawing
on contemporary and early continental philosophy. This collection
of 15 essays by celebrated authors in Shakespeare studies and in
continental philosophy develops different aspects of the interface
between continental thinking and Shakespeare's plays. The authors
draw from current continental philosophy (e.g. Lacan, Foucault,
Derrida) as well as from the 19th-century continental tradition
(e.g. Hegel, Kierkegaard) and from the early roots of continental
tradition (e.g. Aristotle, Ibn Sina). The chapters address the span
of the tragedies, comedies and history plays in the light of
thinkers as diverse as Aristotle, Ibn Sina and Jean-Luc Marion,
Hegel, Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Schmitt, Arendt, Lacan, Levinas,
Foucault and Derrida. The blend of new work and classic position
papers provides a thorough overview of Shakespeare and continental
thought. It sheds new light on Shakespeare and on continental
philosophy. Authors in the collection are leaders in each
discipline in the US and UK / Europe and include: Edward S. Casey,
Howard Caygill, Paul A Kottman, Julia Reinhard Lupton, Christopher
Norris, Nicholas Royle, and, Catherine Belsey.
