World-renowned Shakespeare scholar Stephen Greenblatt explores the
playwright's insight into bad (and often mad) rulers. Examining the
psyche-and psychoses-of the likes of Richard III, Macbeth, Lear and
Coriolanus, Greenblatt illuminates the ways in which William
Shakespeare delved into the lust for absolute power and the
disasters visited upon the societies over which these characters
rule. Tyrant shows that Shakespeare's work remains vitally relevant
today, not least in its probing of the unquenchable, narcissistic
appetites of demagogues and the self-destructive willingness of
collaborators who indulge them.
