How does Shakespeare represent war? This volume reviews scholarship
to date on the question and introduces new perspectives, looking at
contemporary conflict through the lens of the past. Through his
haunting depiction of historical bloodshed, including the Trojan
War, the fall of the Roman Republic, and the Wars of the Roses,
Shakespeare illuminates more recent political violence, ranging
from the British occupation of Ireland to the Spanish Civil War,
the Balkans War, and the past several decades of U. S. military
engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan. Can a war be just? What is the
relation between the ruler and the ruled? What motivates ethnic
violence? Shakespeare's plays serve as the frame for careful
explorations of perennial problems of human co-existence: the
politics of honor, the ethics of diplomacy, the responsibility of
non-combatants, and the tension between idealism and Realpolitik.
