'Shakespeare's Moral Compass is an exemplar of what scholarship in the humanities should be - illuminating the human condition while drawing from multiple disciplines.' Jonathan Haidt, New York University Stern School of Business, and author of The Righteous Mind Overturns orthodox thinking about morality in Shakespeare's plays by updating our understanding of the human mind This ground-breaking study fearlessly combines latest research in evolutionary psychology, historical scholarship and philosophy to answer a question that has eluded critics for centuries: what is Shakespeare's moral vision? At a political and cultural moment in which many of us are taking stock and looking for meaning, and in which moral outrage and polarisation seem endemic, this book radically reimagines how we might approach great works of literature to find some answers. Neema Parvini is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Surrey.
