The A.V. Elliott Conference Shakespeare's Dramatic States

The Thomas C. and Romona E. McDonald Center at Mercer University collected these twelve essays based on papers presented at the 2024 A.V. Elliott Conference on Great Books and Ideas, the theme of which was Shakespeare's Politics. Shakespeare makes a "lively and lasting" impression on all who appeal to him for an understanding of human things. What is the public good? How can we know it? How can we pursue it? How does Shakespeare lead us into and through these inquiries in his plays, and what pitfalls must we watch out for when we read his works with questions such as these in mind? Each author included in this volume comes to Shakespeare's thought from their disciplinary perspective but also from an interpretive stance that transcends disciplinary difference. Contributors include Clinton Allen Brand, Sheila T. Cavanagh, Kevin M. Cherry, Bernard Dobski, Khalil Habib, L. Joseph Hebert, Sujata Iyengar, Carol McNamara, Deneen M. Senasi, Vickie Sullivan, Gary Taylor, and Stuart D. Warner.
