| Sommario/riassunto: | <i>Shakespeare on Masculinity</i> is an important and original study of the way Shakespeare's plays engage with a subject that provoked bitter public dispute. Robin Headlam Wells argues that Shakespeare took a skeptical view of the militant-Protestant cult of heroic masculinity. Following a series of brilliant portraits of the dangerously charismatic warrior-hero, Shakespeare turned at the end of his writing career to a different kind of leader. Plays receiving close readings include <i>The Tempest, Henry V, Troilus and Cressida, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth</i>, and <i>Coriolanus</i>. |
