  • More about Shakespeare's Ruins and Myth of Rome


Shakespeare's Rome is seen as a dismembered body, with ruins taking precedence over myth in his dramatic vision of history and his negotiation of modernity. This is the first book to address this relationship, focusing on the vision of the 'eternal city as a ruinous scenario' and the ways in which it allows for an archaeo-anatomical approach to Shakespeares Roman works.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 388 pages

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


Rome, in the eyes of those who visited the city before or during the Renaissance, was a dismembered body, a ruinous spectacle. This perspective is rooted in the dual movement of archaeological exploration and creative reconstruction that characterized the humanist endeavor to "resurrect the past." In Shakespeare's Rome, ruins take precedence over myths, becoming a valuable heuristic model. They hold immense epistemic significance in Shakespeare's dramatic vision of history and his negotiation of modernity. This groundbreaking book is the first to explore Shakespeare's relationship with Rome's authoritative myth through a chronological reversal, focusing on the portrayal of the "eternal city as a ruinous scenario." By adopting an archaeo-anatomical approach, the book uncovers the ways in which this layered, "silent, and aporetic scenario" enables a profound exploration of Shakespeare's Roman works.
