Beskrivning

Shakespeare’s enduring significance lies in the persistent counternarrative his plays and poetry offer against the permanence of mortality. This study examines the strategies through which Shakespeare resists death’s finality, situating its argument within the cultural realities of the Shakespearean age. Across three sections, it analyzes the dramatic and poetic techniques that articulate this challenge to mortality. While acknowledging the importance of textual and performance-based scholarship, the book argues for renewed attention to Shakespearean meaning. In doing so, it reconsiders what continues to make Shakespeare matter within literary and intellectual history.
