Shakespeare's Curse (eBook, ePUB)

The Aporias of Ritual Exclusion in Early Modern Royal Drama

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Conceptualizing the curse as the representation of a foundational, mythical violence embedded within juridical discourse, Shakespeare's Curse provides a fresh perspective on Shakespeare's plays Richard III, King John, and King Lear, and an original insight into early modern legal developments. Drawing on the work of Derrida, Lacan, Walter Benjamin and Giorgio Agamben, among others, Quiring analyses the performativity of the curse, and tracks its power through the juristic themes that are pursued within the plays - such as sovereignty, legitimacy, obligation, exception, and natural law. A fascinating interdisciplinary book of interest to students and scholars of Law, Literature, and History.
