In Shakespearean Issues, Richard Strier has written a sec oflinked essays bound by a learned view ofhow to think about Shakespeare ’s plays and also how co write literary criticism on them. The essays vary in their foci—from dealing with passages and key lines co dealing with whole plays, and to dealing with multiple plays in the matic conversation with each other. Strier treats the political, social, and philosophi cal themes of Shakespeare’s plays through recursive and revisionary close reading, revisiting plays from different angles and often contravening prevailing views. Part I focuses on characters. Moments of bad faith, ofunconscious self-revelarion, and ofsemi-conscious self-revelation are analyzed, along with the problem of describing characters psychologically and ethically. In an essay on “Happy Hamlet,’ the famous melancholy of the prince is questioned, as is the villainy of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, while another essay asks the reader to reconsider moral judgments and negative assessments of characters who may be flawed but do not seem obviously wicked, such as Edgar and Gloucester in King Lear. Part II moves to systems, arguing that Henry IK, Measurefor Measure, and The Merchant ofVenice raise doubts about fundamental features oflegal systems, such as impartiality, punishments, and respect for contracts. Strier reveals King Lears radicalism, analyzing its concentration on
poverty and its insistence on the existence and legitimacy of a material substratum to human life. Essays on The Tempest offer original takes on the plays presentation of coercive power, of civilization and its discontents, and of humanist ideals. Part ΙΠ turns to religious and epistemological beliefs, with Strier challenging prevailing views of Shakespeare’s relation to both. A culminating reading secs The Winters Taleas ultimately affirming the minds capacities, and as finding a place for something like religion within the world. Anyone interested in Shakespeare's plays will find Shakespearean Issues bracing and thought-provoking. |
