Political Wisdom in Late Shakespeare

A Way Out of the Wreck

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"A Way Out of the Wreck" explores the political wisdom contained in the four last plays of Shakespeare's First Folio. These four plays prove remarkably united in their presentation of five virtues-patience, piety, fidelity, clemency, and diligence-which consistently appear desirable for rulers to have and regimes to encourage.
