Description

This collection brings together the thoughts of influential thinkers who have engaged with Shakespeare's drama over the past two and a half centuries. From Herder to Derrida, these philosophers offer insights into the plays that are part of an underexplored philosophical tradition.

As the critical landscape of Shakespeare studies continues to shift, this volume provides a timely companion to new critical editions of the plays. It offers a survey of literary criticism, aesthetic theory, and theories of tragedy and dramatic criticism since the mid-eighteenth century, shedding light on individual plays as well as the broader tradition.

Published in 2009, Philosophers on Shakespeare is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the enduring relevance of Shakespeare's work in contemporary scholarship and performance.
