Majesty and the Masses in Shakespeare and Marlowe: Western Anti-Monarchism, The Earl of Essex Challenge, and Political Stagecraft: Routledge Studies in Shakespeare
Autor Chris Fitteren Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 apr 2022
Part Two focuses Queen Elizabeth’s principal challenger for national rule: the Earl of Essex, England’s most popular man. It demonstrates from detailed readings that, far from being an admirer of the war-crazed, unstable, bi-polar Essex, as is regularly asserted, Shakespeare launched in Richard II and Henry IV a campaign to puncture the reputation of the great earl, exposing him as a Machiavel seeking Elizabeth’s throne. Shakespeare emerges as a humane and clear-sighted critic of the follies intrinsic to dynastic monarchy: yet hostile, likewise, to the rash militarist, Essex, who would fling England into permanent war against Spain.
Founded on an unprecedented and wide-ranging study of anti-monarchist thought, this book presents a significant contribution to Shakespeare and Marlowe criticism, studies of Tudor England, and the history of ideas.

Recenzii
"Chris Fitter's survey of Western anti-monarchism "spans the first two chapters (134 pages), which review Greek, Roman, Biblical and medieval sources as well as an international set of humanists. The range here is impressive: more than forty writers, some of whom are represented in multiple texts. . . The quotations are well-chosen, and the overview is fascinating. . . Fitter handles the complexities of humanist statecraft in a compelling fashion. . .Energetic readings of plays keep their artistic status front and center, making a refreshing argument for political interpretation. . . Any future effort to locate Shakespeare in a royalist camp will have to reckon with this book."
