| Summary: | William Shakespeare and 21st-Century Culture, Politics, and Leadership examines problems, challenges and crises in our contemporary world through the lens of William Shakespeare's plays, one of the best-known, most admired and often controversial authors of the last half-millennium. As perhaps the most oft-cited author in the West outside of the Judeo-Christian Bible, Shakespeare has often been considered a sage, providing manifold insights into our shared human qualities and experiences across time and geography. The editors and authors of this accessible book leverage the now truly global scope of that sibylline reputation to explore what the Bard might tell us about ourselves, our politics, our leaders and our societies today. The chapters are written with critical rigor and will appeal to scholars and students in leadership and literary studies but are accessible to non-Shakespeare experts. Anyone looking to explore the ongoing relevance of Shakespeare's work will find this volume enlightening and entertaining. |
