KORTE INHOUD
Hardcover, in-8, 155 pp., index.
"Copp'd Hills Towards Heaven: Shakespeare and the Classical Polity" by Howard B. White explores the political and philosophical dimensions of William Shakespeare's works in the context of classical thought. White examines how Shakespeare's plays reflect and engage with classical ideas of governance, power, and civic virtue, drawing on the political theories of ancient Greece and Rome. Through a careful analysis of several of Shakespeare's plays, the book delves into themes such as justice, tyranny, freedom, and the role of the state, suggesting that Shakespeare's understanding of politics was profoundly influenced by the classical tradition. This book is valuable for scholars interested in Shakespeare's engagement with political philosophy and the classical heritage that shaped his worldview.
