FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Playing Shakespeares Rebels and Tyrants is the fourth volume in the Peter Lang series, Playing Shakespeares Characters. As in the previous volumes, a broad range of contributors (actors, directors, scholars, educators, etc.) analyze the concepts of rebellion, tyranny, leadership, empathy with not only references to Elizabethan and Jacobean studies, but also to Donald Trump, the social justice movement, and the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Shakespeares rebels occupy space in both the personal and political, and often quickly turn from rebel to tyrant once in power. How can Shakespeares text inform current conversations about race, equity, representation, rebellion and tyranny? Who gets to define the power dynamics in Shakespeares plays? This volume looks at the Henrys, Hotspurs, Richards, Lears, Brutuses and Caesars, as well as the Juliets, Rosalinds and Cordelias who make up the panoply of Shakespeares rebels and tyrants.
