Tyrant : Shakespeare on politics / Stephen Greenblatt. by Greenblatt, Stephen, 1943- W. W. Norton & Company, 2018. Call #: 822.34 G798t Subjects Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 -- Criticism and interpretation.   Dictators in literature.   Power (Social sciences) in literature. ISBN:  9780393635751 Edition:  1st ed. Description:  212 p. ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Contents:  Oblique angles -- Party politics -- Fraudulent populism -- A matter of character -- Enablers -- Tyranny triumphant -- The instigator -- Madness in great ones -- Downfall and resurgence -- Resistible rise -- Coda. Summary:  "As an aging, tenacious Elizabeth I clung to power, a talented playwright probed the social causes, the psychological roots, and the twisted consequences of tyranny. In exploring the psyche (and psychoses) of the likes of Richard III, Macbeth, Lear, Coriolanus, and the societies they rule over, Stephen Greenblatt illuminates the ways in which William Shakespeare delved into the lust for absolute power and the catastrophic consequences of its execution."--From publisher.
