Skepticism and Belonging in Shakespeare's Comedy

Bag om Skepticism and Belonging in Shakespeare's Comedy

This book recovers a sense of the high stakes of Shakespearean comedy, arguing that the comedies, no less than the tragedies, serve to dramatize responses to the condition of being human, responses that invite scholarly investigation and explanation. Taking its cue from Stanley Cavell¿s influential readings of Othello and Lear, it argues that where Shakespeare¿s tragedies might be viewed in Cavellian terms as the drama of skepticism, Shakespeare¿s comedies then exemplify the drama of acknowledgement. This book offers something new in scholarly and popular understanding of Shakespeare¿s work, doing so with both philosophical rigor and literary attention to the difficult work of reading.
