Circumstantial Shakespeare (Oxford Wells Shakespeare Lectures)

Circumstantial Shakespeare is a groundbreaking book that challenges traditional critical assumptions about Shakespeare's plays.

By drawing on sixteenth-century rhetorical pedagogy, it reveals the importance of topics of circumstance in creating compelling narratives and vivid mental images.

This innovative approach allows readers to see Shakespeare's characters in a new light, as imaginatively autonomous beings with their own unconscious feelings.

With new readings of some of Shakespeare's most famous plays, including Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, and Macbeth, Circumstantial Shakespeare offers a fresh perspective on the Bard's works.
