内容説明

Annabel Patterson challenges the common opinion that Shakespeare was anti-democratic, contemptuous of the crowd and an unfailing supporter of the Elizabethan social hierarchy. She argues that this view originated in the 19thcentury and was rendered influential, especially by Coleridge, as a part of anti-Jacobin propaganda; and that in reality, Shakespeare engaged in a rigorous critique of his society, which is given fullest expression in "Coriolanus". Using unread or under-interpreted contemporary documents and situating her analysis in relation to the most recent theories of popular culture and popular protest, Annabel Patterson offers an account of seven plays, from "Henry VI, part 2" to "The Tempest". She also enters current debates on humanism, the relation of culture to society,
