In this revisionist study, Peter G. Platt provides a detailed
history of the literary-critical interest in the Montaigne
Shakespeare connection from the eighteenth century to the present
day. Through sustained close readings of Montaigne's essays and
Shakespeare's plays, Platt explores both authors' approaches to
self, knowledge and form that stress fractures, interruptions and
alternatives. While the change in monarchy, the revived interest in
judicial rhetoric and the alterations in Shakespeare's acting
company helped shape plays such as Measure for Measure, King Lear
and The Tempest, this book contends that Shakespeare's reading of
Montaigne is an under-recognised driving force in these later
plays.
