Rome was tantamount to its ruins, a dismembered body, to the eyes
of those – Italians and foreigners – who visited the city in
the years prior to or encompassing the lengthy span of the
Renaissance. Drawing on the double movement of archaeological
exploration and creative reconstruction entailed in the humanist
endeavour to ‘resurrect’ the past, ‘ruins’ are seen as
taking precedence over ‘myth’, in Shakespeare’s Rome. They
are assigned the role of a heuristic model, and discovered in all
their epistemic relevance in Shakespeare’s dramatic vision of
history and his negotiation of modernity. This is the first book of
its kind to address Shakespeare’s relationship with Rome’s
authoritative myth, archaeologically, by taking as a point of
departure a chronological reversal, namely the vision of the
‘eternal’ city as a ruinous scenario and hence the ways in
which such a layered, ‘silent’, and aporetic scenario allows
for an archaeo-anatomical approach to Shakespeare’s Roman works.
