Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essence of Shakespeare, observes David Willbern, is in the details. What matters most in our appreciation of Hamlet is not the staged play but the play of language we find in the words of the Bard. This book explores the expressions of Shakespeare's poetic will—his sexual desire, conscious and unconscious volition, and posthumous legacy—within the linguistic matrix that enfolds his characters and readers. Using a combination of psychoanalytic approaches, Willbern rescues Shakespeare from the limitations and distortions of dramatic performance by showing that his language, scenes, and characters are propelled by the genius of this will and need to be understood primarily as written narrative. In these provocative essays, Willbern examines the deep analogy between poetic creativity and sexual procreation as he explores the parallels between Shakespearean and Freudian representations of fantasy, thus offering readers a heightened awareness of the sexual and bodily substrate of Shakespeare's language. Engaging current debars between psychological and social approaches, he develops new strategies of reading in a search for the limits of Shakespeare's language and our responses to it. He then applies these strategies to all of Shakespeare's genres via detailed analysis of a comedy (Twelfth Night) a history (Henry IV, Part One) a tragedy (MacBeth) and a poem (Lucrece). Additional essays provide an overview of Shakespeare both as a creative agent and as a body of work. Questions of identity, authenticity, and representation­-especially as posed in Hamlet—are a recurrent concern throughout the book. Poetic Will frees the play of language in Shakespeare from its illusory anchors in characters and resituates the experience of reading his work within individual response and reconstruction. Offering practical criticism with a bold, American slant, it emphasizes the rich potential of Shakespeare's poetic language while exploring the interpretive and rhetorical limits of psychoanalytic literary criticism.

Book excerpt: In the first full-length study of Shakespeare's Roman plays, Coppélia Kahn brings to these texts a startling, critical perspective which interrogates the gender ideologies lurking behind 'Roman virtue'. Plays featured include: * Titus Andronicus * Julius Caesar * Antony and Cleopatra * Coriolanus * Cymbeline Setting the Roman works in the dual context of the popular theatre and Renaissance humanism, the author identifies new sources which she analyzes from a historicised feminist perspective. Roman Shakespeare is written in an accessible style and will appeal to scholars and students of Shakespeare and those interested in feminist theory, as well as classicists.
