Can Shakespeare help us with the question of how to live?Re-Humanising Shakespeare argues that although Shakespeare strikingly dramatizes various kinds of uncertainty and scepticism, including scepticism about what it is to be human, his work can still serve as a rich source of existential wisdom and guidance. Revised throughout, this edition includes: anew introduction which focuses more attention on what is specific to literature's treatment of the human (as epitomised by Shakespeare); a section drawing on new work on literary and dramatic genres as different ways of attending to human life; a revised chapter on the history plays; and a readingof King Lear. Blending theory and critical resources with close analysis of the plays, this book makes provocative reading for all those interested in Shakespeare, ethics, human being and questions of literary value. | Re-Humanising Shakespeare by Andrew Mousley, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
