On King Lear, The Confessions, and Human Experience and Nature (Hardcover)

Augustine's Confessions and Shakespeare's King Lear are two of the
most influential and enduring works of the Western canon or world
literature. But what does Stratford-upon-Avon have to do with
Hippo, or the ascetical heretic-fighting polemicist with the author
of some of the world's most beautiful love poetry? To answer these
questions, Kim Paffenroth analyses the similarities and differences
between the thinking of these two figures on the themes of love,
language, nature and reason. Pairing and connecting the insights of
Shakespeare's most nihilist tragedy with those of Augustine's most
personal and sometimes self-condemnatory, sometimes triumphal work,
challenges us to see their worldviews as more similar than they
first seem, and as more relevant to our own fragmented and
disillusioned world.
