In this distinctive study, Nicholas Luke explores the abiding power
of Shakespeare's tragedies by suggesting an innovative new model of
his character creation. Rather than treating characters as
presupposed beings, Luke shows how they arrive as something more
than functional dramatis personae - how they come to life as
'subjects' - through Shakespeare's orchestration of
transformational dramatic events. Moving beyond dominant critical
modes, Luke combines compelling close readings of Romeo and Juliet,
Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear with an accessible analysis
of thinkers such as Badiou, Zizek, Bergson, Whitehead and Latour,
and the 'adventist' Christian tradition flowing from Saint Paul
through Luther to Kierkegard. Representing a significant
intervention into the way we encounter Shakespeare's tragic
figures, the book argues for a subjectivity which is not singular
or abiding, but perilous and leaping.
