Posthumanist Shakespeares is a critical investigation of the
relationship between early modern culture and contemporary
political and technological changes concerning the idea of the
'human.' The volume covers the tragedies King Lear and Hamlet in
particular, but also provides posthumanist readings of The Merchant
of Venice, Measure for Measure, Coriolanus, The Winter's Tale,
Timon of Athens and Pericles. The value of the collection lies in
extending a posthumanist paradigm to interpretations of
Shakespeare, and in demonstrating how posthumanism can be in turn
read back by Shakespeare's work. What emerges from Posthumanist
Shakespeares is that the encounter between posthumanism and
Shakespeare studies, far from being unlikely, is productive for
both fields and can lead to a critical rethinking of both,
recasting questions concerning time, life, death, science,
technology, and the nature of the human.
