[EAN: 9781882926503], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [SC: 10.04], [PU: Wilmington : ISI Books], Jacket, XIX, 416 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed jacket, otherwise very good and clean. / Leicht beriebener Umschlag, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - Contents: Foreword -- Acknowledgments -- Note on the Revised Edition -- The Editors and Authors -- Introductory: Shakespearean Poetry and Politics by John E. Alvis -- The Unity of Tragedy, Comedy, and History: An Interpretation of the Shakespearean Universe by Harry V. Jaffa -- Richard II -- Allan Bloom -- God Will Save the King: Shakespeare’s Richard II by Louise Cowan -- Shakespeare’s Henry IV: A New Prince in a New Principality by Dain A. Trafton -- Spectacle Supplanting Ceremony: Shakespeare’s Henry Monmouth by John E. Alvis -- The Two Truths of Troilus and Cressida by Thomas G. West -- Troilus and Cressida: Poetry or Philosophy? by Christopher Flannery -- Nature and the City: Timon of Athens by Leo Paul S. de Alvarez -- Chastity as a Political Principle: An Interpretation of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure by Harry V. Jaffa -- Prospero’s Republic: The Politics of Shakespeare’s The Tempest by Paul A. Cantor -- The Golden Casket: An Interpretation of The Merchant of Venice by Barbara Tovey -- Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Machiavelli: How Not To Kill a Despot by John E. Alvis -- Macbeth and the Gospelling of Scotland by Paul A. Cantor -- Shakespearean Wisdom? by Michael Platt -- Shakespearean Comedy and Tragedy: Implicit Political Analogies by Robert B. Heilman -- Transcendence and Equivocation: Some Political, Theological, and Philosophies Themes in Shakespeare by Laurence Berns -- Index. - The authors of this unique collection of essays proceed from a common conviction: Shakespeare’s poetry conveys a wisdom about things political commensurate with the beauty of his poetry and drama. The writers assess the Bard’s political prudence by addressing such topics in his corpus as: the nature and limits of political life; the origins of Shakespeare’s understanding of politics in Christianity, Machiavelli, and the ancients; perfect and imperfect statesmanship; England, Rome, and the best polity; the link between individual character and political regime; and the relationship between poetry, politics, religion, and philosophy. The essayists analyze Richard II, i and 2, Henry IV, Henry V, Measure for Measure, The Tempest, Timon of Athens, Troilus and Cressida, The Merchant of Venice, and the major tragedies, as well as the sonnets. Contributors include such luminaries as Allan Bloom and Harry Jaffa, who judge Shakespeare to be a poetic exponent of the great tradition of classical political philosophy stemming from Socrates—a tradition whose cogency and whose relevance was displayed by Leo Strauss and others. This predominant grain is brought out by the inclusion of some essays—notably those of Louise Cowan and Robert B. Heilman—that cut across it. Taken together, these writers demonstrate that good literature, particularly from masters like Shakespeare, can contain good political thinking. An example of interdisciplinary writing at its finest, Shakespeare as Political Thinker is an impressive treatment of the significance of politics for Shakespeare’s characters and for the poet as thinker. - John E. Alvis is professor of English at the University of Dallas. He is the author of Shakespeare’s Understanding of Honor (1989), Divine Initiative and Heroic Response: The Political Plan of Zeus (1995), and editor of Areopagitica and Other Political Writings of John Milton (1999). He has published articles on Virgil, Ghiberti, Shakespeare, Milton, Melville, O’Neill, Caroline Gordon, and Derek Walcott, as well as on American politics, constitutional issues, the political thought of Willmoore Kendall, and controversies in contemporary American higher education. Thomas G. West is a senior fellow of the Claremont Institute and professor of politics at the University of Dallas. He is the author of Plato’s Apology of Socrates: An Interpretation (1979) and of the bestseller Vindicating the Founders: Race, Sex, Class, and Justice in the Origins of America (1997). His edition of Four Texts on Socrates: Plato’s Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Aristophanes’ Clouds (co-translated with Grace West) is widely used in college classrooms. He has published on Cicero, Marx, free speech, religious liberty, and other themes in political philosophy and American politics.
