During the Renaissance, moral philosophy came to permeate the minds of many, including the spectators that poured into Shakespeare's Globe theatre. Examining these strains of thought that formed the basis for humanism, Raspa delves into King Lear, Hamlet, among others to unlock what influence this had on both Shakespeare and his interpreters.

“Raspa (retired, Laval Univ., Canada) argues that contemporary Shakespeare criticism has moved too far away from the philosophical contexts of Shakespeare’s own time … . Raspa seeks to redress this by reading a variety of plays through the lens of Renaissance humanism, offering explanations of how Shakespeare’s contemporaries would have necessarily understood various moments in the plays. … Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty.” (A. Castaldo, Choice, Vol. 54 (5), January, 2017)
