Abstract:

David Lucking sees Shakespeare’s plays as negotiating tensions between a
number of alternative, and sometimes mutually antagonistic perspectives. Some
of these perspectives are associated with particular languages, cultures and
texts, while others involve philosophical issues such as the nature of
personal ontology and distinctions between reality and dream, being and
nothingness. In elaborating his insights Lucking draws extensive comparisons
with Lucretius’ 'De Rerum Natura', and between Sophocles’ Theban plays and
'King Lear', and he also pays close attention to 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream',
'Henry V', 'Julius Caesar', 'Hamlet', and 'Antony and Cleopatra'. Re-assessing
a wide range of earlier commentary, his nine essays confirm the lasting value
of apposite contextualization in tandem with detailed close reading.
