For when he asks us to think we 'have but slumbered' throughout his offensive plays, Wilson suggests, Shakespeare is presenting a drama without catharsis, which anticipates post-structuralist thinkers like Jacques Rancière and Slavoj Žižek, who insist the essence of democracy is dissent, and 'the presence of two worlds in one'.Living out his scenario of the guest who destroys the host, by welcoming the religious terrorist, paranoid queen, veiled woman, papist diehard, or puritan fundamentalist into his play-world, Worldly Shakespeare concludes, the dramatist instead provides a pretext for our globalized communities in a time of Facebook and fatwa, as we also come to depend on the right to offend 'with our good will'.Key FeaturesA discussion of the relevance of Shakespeare's conflictual drama to twenty-first century thinking about universalism and globalization.A historical account that situates Shakespeare's theatre against the backdrop of Europe's Wars of Religion.A wide-ranging meditation on Shakespeare's staging of questions about democracy, martyrdom, terrorism, surveillance, veiling and violence.
