Format: Electronic book text Length: 298 pages Publication date: 07 January 2021 Publisher: Shepheard Walwyn Publishers Shakespeare's Philosophy: An Unusual and Exceptionally Clear InsightThis edition of Shakespeare's works offers a viewpoint seldomly considered: an unusual and exceptionally clear insight into Shakespeare's philosophy. Appreciating the danger Shakespeare faced in writing at a time of major religious intolerance, this fresh examination demonstrates how subtly his plays allegorically explore aspects of the perennial philosophy. In doing so, it argues, Shakespeare raises the fundamental question of ethics. Both thought provoking and persuasive, this book also contrasts Hamlet with Measure for Measure and Othello with The Winters Tale in order to expose the dilemmas that confront its heroes.
