Revisionist Shakespeare appropriates revisionist history in order
to both criticize traditional transitional interpretations of
Shakespearean drama and to offer a new methodology for
understanding representations of social conflict in Shakespeare's
play and in Early Modern English culture. Rather than argue that
Shakespearean drama allegorizes historical transitions and
ideological polarization, Revisionist Shakespeare argues that
Shakespeare's plays explore the nature of internally contradictory
Early Modern institutions and belief-systems that are only
indirectly related to competing political and class ideologies.
Such institutions and belief-systems include Elizabethan strategies
for the management of vagrancy, the nature of Jacobean statecraft,
objective and subjective theories of economic value, Protestant
ethical theory, and Augustinian notions of sinful habituation. The
book looks at five of Shakespeare's plays: The Tempest, Coriolanus,
The Merchant of Venice, King Lear, and Hamlet.
