Written by a distinguished international team of contributors, this
volume explores Shakespeare's vivid depictions of moral
deliberation and individual choice in light of Renaissance debates
about ethics. Examining the intellectual context of Shakespeare's
plays, the essays illuminate Shakespeare's engagement with the most
pressing moral questions of his time, considering the competing
claims of politics, Christian ethics and classical moral
philosophy, as well as new perspectives on controversial topics
such as conscience, prayer, revenge and suicide. Looking at
Shakespeare's responses to emerging schools of thought such as
Calvinism and Epicureanism, and assessing comparisons between
Shakespeare and his French contemporary Montaigne, the collection
addresses questions such as: when does laughter become cruel? How
does style reflect moral perspective? Does shame lead to
self-awareness? This book is of great interest to scholars and
students of Shakespeare studies, Renaissance studies and the
history of ethics.
