Excellent- More about Shakespearean Arrivals: The Birth of Character
Nicholas Luke's study explores Shakespeare's tragedies by showing how characters come to life as subjects through transformational dramatic events. He combines close readings with an analysis of thinkers to argue for a subjectivity that is not singular but perilous and leaping.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 260 pages
Publication date: 23 June 2022
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
In this groundbreaking study, Nicholas Luke delves into the enduring potency of Shakespeare's tragedies by proposing a novel model of his character creation. Instead of treating characters as predefined beings, Luke demonstrates how they emerge as something more than mere functional dramatis personae – how they come to life as subjects – through Shakespeare's masterful orchestration of transformative dramatic events. By transcending prevalent critical modes, Luke seamlessly integrates compelling close readings of Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear with an accessible analysis of thinkers such as Badiou, Žižek, Bergson, Whitehead, and Latour, as well as the adventist Christian tradition stemming from Saint Paul through Luther to Kierkegaard. This book represents a significant intervention into our understanding of Shakespeare's tragic figures, advocating for a subjectivity that is not singular or abiding, but perilous and leaping.
