Shakespeare’s Legal Ecologies: Law and Distributed Selfhood (Rethinking the Early Modern)

Kevin Curran

4.9/5 (34417 ratings)

Description:Shakespeare s Legal Ecologies offers the first sustained examination of the relationship between law and selfhood in Shakespeare s work. Taking five plays and the sonnets as case studies, Kevin Curran argues that law provided Shakespeare with the conceptual resources to imagine selfhood in social and distributed terms, as a product of interpersonal exchange or as a gathering of various material forces. In the course of these discussions, Curran reveals Shakespeare s distinctly communitarian vision of personal and political experience, the way he regarded living, thinking, and acting in the world as materially and socially embedded practices. At the center of the book is Shakespeare s fascination with questions that are fundamental to both law and What are the sources of agency? What counts as a person? For whom am I responsible, and how far does that responsibility extend? What is truly mine? Curran guides readers through Shakespeare s responses to these questions, paying careful attention to both historical and intellectual contexts. The result is a book that advances a new theory of Shakespeare s imaginative relationship to law and an original account of law s role in the ethical work of his plays and sonnets. Readers interested in Shakespeare, theater and philosophy, law, and the history of ideas will find Shakespeare s Legal Ecologies to be an essential resource.
