Shakespeare in the Present: Political Lessons under Biden is the
first case study in applying the lessons of Shakespeare's plays to
post-Trump America. It looks at American politics through the lens
of Shakespeare, not simply equating figures in the contemporary
world to Shakespearean characters, but showing how the broader
conditions of Shakespeare's imagined worlds reflect and inform our
own. Clearly written, in a direct and engaging style, it shows that
reading Shakespeare with our contemporary Washington in mind can
enrich our understanding of both his works and our world.
Shakespeare wrote for his own time, but we always read him in our
present. As such, the way we read him now is always affected by our
own understanding of our own political world. This book provides
quick critical analyses of Shakespeare's plays and contemporary
American politics while serving as an introduction for
undergraduates and general readers to this kind of topical,
presentist criticism of Shakespeare.
