A propos de l'auteur
Peter Lake presents a series of (mutually constitutive) moves and counter moves, in the course of which the regime's claims to represent a form of public political virtue, to speak for the commonweal and true religion, elicited from certain Catholic critics a simply inverted rhetoric of private afficher plus political vice, persecution, and tyranny. The resulting exchanges are read riot only as a species of 'political thought', but as a way of thinking about politics as process and of distinguishing between 'politics' and 'religion'. They are also analysed as modes of political communication and pitch-making-involving print, circulating manuscripts, performance, and rumour-and thus as constitutive of an emergent mode of 'public politics' and perhaps of a 'post reformation public sphere'. While the focus is primarily English, the origins and imbrication of these texts within, and their direct address to, wider European events and audiences is always present The aim is thus to contribute simultaneously to the political, cultural, intellectual, and religious histories of the period. afficher moins

Lake places Shakespeare firmly within the general set of supporters of Essex throughout most of the 1590s, though not in the very later days of Essex rebellion; it marks him as being one of those who supported the current settlement but were not particularly vehement as regards Roman Catholics as such. He also places the general development of Elizabethan public drama firmly in the context of its role as an establishment-supported propaganda mechanism, building on work done by Scott McMillin and Sally-Beth MacLean on The Queen's Men.
Finally, he provides (in some cases, partial) readings of the plays which are persuasive and, if not entirely new, have new dimensions. This isn't where I'd want to start if I were just learning about the history plays, but it makes a good addition to any more advanced list of books on them.… (plus d'informations)
