Reading Shakespeare Historically is a passionate, provocative
book by one of the most renowned and popular Renaissance scholars
writing today. Charting ten years of critical development, these
challenging, witty essays shed new light on Renaissance studies. It
also raises intriguing questions about how the culture and history
of the past illuminates the key social and political issues of
today. Lisa Jardine re-reads Renaissance drama in its historical
and cultural context, from laws of defamation in Othello to the
competing loyalties of companionate marriage and male friendship in
The Changeling. In doing so she reveals a wealth of new insights,
sometimes surprising but always original and engrossing. At the
same time, these essays also provide a fascinating account of the
rise of feminist scholarship since the 1980s and the diversifying
of new historicist' approaches over the same period.
Reading Shakespeare Historically will fascinate and provoke
students of shakespeare and his historical age, and general readers
with an urge to understand how the culture and history of our past
illuminates the key scoial and political issues of today.
