In Shakespeare: Poet and Citizen, Victor Kiernan shows that Shakespeare was profoundly sensitive to the great social and political upheavals of his age. Shakespeare's life coincided with the first challenges to the institution of monarchy, as well as far-reaching transformations in the social hierarchy. By placing the plays within this context of an emerging modernity, Kiernan upends our perception of Shakespeare's writings. He shows that these social transformations, and especially the changing roles of women, are crucial to our understanding of the Comedies, in which the confusion of identity, disguise, and cross-dressing play a central role, while the Histories similarly reflect the demise of feudal allegiances and the development of the modern state."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Political and social views. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85121022 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029048 650 0 $a Politics and literature $z Great Britain $x History $y 16th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008109406 650 0 $a Literature and society $z England $x History $y 16th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107023 650 0 $a Political poetry, English $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008109668 650 0 $a Political plays, English $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008109667 650 0 $a Social problems in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85123990 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 650 7 $a Political plays, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069494 650 7 $a Political poetry, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069540 650 7 $a Politics and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069960 650 7 $a Social problems in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122806 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1500-1599 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 $a Wood, Michael, $d 1936- $e writer of introduction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n50015134 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211030109.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191122025243.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F3ED5684E6E611E7A3BFBD0A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
