Providing a provocative and original perspective on Shakespeare,
Peter Holbrook argues that Shakespeare is an author friendly to
such essentially modern and unruly notions as individuality,
freedom, self-realization and authenticity. These expressive values
vivify Shakespeare's own writing; they also form a continuous, and
a central, part of the Shakespearean tradition. Engaging with the
theme of the individual will in specific plays and poems, and
examining a range of libertarian-minded scholarly and literary
responses to Shakespeare over time, Shakespeare's Individualism
advances the proposition that one of the key reasons for reading
Shakespeare today is his commitment to individual liberty - even as
we recognize that freedom is not just an indispensable ideal but
also, potentially, a dangerous one. Engagingly written and jargon
free, this book demonstrates that Shakespeare has important things
to say about fundamental issues of human existence.
