Derrida Reads Shakespeare

Beschreibung

Explores Jacques Derrida's distinctive approach to Shakespeare This book brings to light Derrida's rich and thought-provoking discussions of Shakespearean drama. Contextualising Derrida's readings of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice and King Lear within his wider philosophical project, Alfano explores what draws Derrida to Shakespeare and what makes him particularly suitable for philosophical thought. The author also makes the case for Derrida's singular understanding of the relationship between philosophy and Shakespeare and his radical idea of what literary genius is. Chiara Alfano is Lecturer and Academic Development Associate at New College of the Humanities.
