Book Synopsis Just and Unjust Wars in Shakespeare by : Franziska Quabeck
Download or read book Just and Unjust Wars in Shakespeare written by Franziska Quabeck and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-03-22 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of the just war poses one of the most important ethical questions to date. Can war ever be justified and, if so, how? When is a cause of war proportional to its costs and who must be held responsible? The monograph Just and Unjust Wars in Shakespeare demonstrates that the necessary moral evaluation of these questions is not restricted to the philosophical moral and political discourse. This analysis of Shakespeare's plays, which focuses on the histories, tragedies and Roman plays in chronological order, brings to light that the drama includes an elaborate and complex debate of the ethical issues of warfare. The plays that feature in this analysis range from Henry VI to Coriolanus and they are analysed according to the three Aquinian principles of legitimate authority, just cause and right intention. Also extending the principles of analysis to more modern notions of responsibility, proportionality and the jus in bello-presupposition, this monograph shows that just war theory constitutes a dominant theoretical approach to war in the Shakespearean canon.
Book Synopsis Tombs in Shakespearean Drama by : H. Austin Whitver
Download or read book Tombs in Shakespearean Drama written by H. Austin Whitver and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tombs in Shakespearean Drama explores the rhetorical deployment of tombs and monuments on the early modern stage, demonstrating their historiographic power and mythmaking potential. By analyzing references to tombs in plays by Shakespeare and others in conjunction with extant monuments, this volume demonstrates how these references function in two overlapping ways in period drama: monuments act as repositories of information about the past, and they allow the living to construct and preserve fictive narratives. The stage exposes the flimsy materiality of paper, placing less value on the written word than period poetry. In this way, critics have perhaps oversold as universal Shakespeare’s poetic praise of stone. Tombs within plays act as a powerful historical and narrative medium, raising the stakes to provide the stage with the illusion of permanency. Playwrights use tombs to anchor the stage action, giving a sense of lasting importance to dramatic events and combatting the ephemeral nature of the playhouse. In drama, Shakespeare and others drew on the persona preserved on tombs; this volume widens our view of how these representations interacted in the commemorative economy of early modern England. Within the playhouse, it was the tomb, not the tome, that stood as a symbol of permanence.
Book Synopsis Shakespeare and Politics by : Bruce E. Altschuler
Download or read book Shakespeare and Politics written by Bruce E. Altschuler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Shakespeare, more than any other author, was able to capture the essence of human nature in all its manifestations. His political plays offer enduring insights into our humanity, our vanity, our noble and baser drives, what makes us great, and what makes us loathsome. He tells us about ourselves and about our world. This volume gleans valuable lessons from the writings of William Shakespeare and applies them to contemporary politics. Original chapters covering over a dozen different plays take up perennial political themes including power and leadership, corruption and virtue, war and peace, evil and liberty, persuasion and polarization, and empire and global overreach.Features of the text:

Book Synopsis Shakespeare's History Plays by : Graham Holderness
Download or read book Shakespeare's History Plays written by Graham Holderness and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology of contemporary criticism was written within the last 20 years, most within the last ten. It aims to problematize, rather than merely reflect, traditional methods and assumptions. The selection of essays cover Richard II, Henry IV (parts one and two), and Henry V. By representing some of the wide range of new theoretically-informed critical approaches, it offers the reader a genuine plurality of different critical and interpretative strategies - new historicism, feminism, deconstruction, marxism, linguistics, anthropology, social history, textual and bibliographical studies, and cultural-materialism. Graham Holderness is the author of Shakespeare: Out of Court, with John Turner and Nick Potter.
Download or read book King Henry V written by Joseph Candido and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its depiction of the victorious English king, Henry V has divided critical opinion and remains one of the more controversial of Shakespeare's histories. This new volume in Shakespeare: The Critical Tradition increases our knowledge of how Shakespeare's plays were received and understood by critics, editors and general readers. The volume offers, in separate sections, both critical opinions about the play across the centuries and an evaluation of their positions within and their impact on the reception of the play. The chronological arrangement of the text-excerpts engages the readers in a direct and unbiased dialogue, whereas the introduction offers a critical evaluation from a current stance, including modern theories and methods. Thus the volume makes a major contribution to our understanding of the play and of the traditions of Shakespearean criticism surrounding it as they have developed from century to century.
