Shakespearean Arrivals: The Birth of Character by Nicholas Luke (English) Hardco

Description: Shakespearean Arrivals by Nicholas Luke Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book provides a novel account of how Shakespeare creates his great tragic characters. It examines Shakespeares technique in orchestrating dramatic events alongside Christian notions of rebirth, Badious philosophy of event, and process philosophy. It appeals to those interested in Shakespeare, aesthetics, and subjectivity. Publisher Description In this distinctive study, Nicholas Luke explores the abiding power of Shakespeares tragedies by suggesting an innovative new model of his character creation. Rather than treating characters as presupposed beings, Luke shows how they arrive as something more than functional dramatis personae - how they come to life as subjects - through Shakespeares orchestration of transformational dramatic events. Moving beyond dominant critical modes, Luke combines compelling close readings of Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear with an accessible analysis of thinkers such as Badiou, iek, Bergson, Whitehead and Latour, and the adventist Christian tradition flowing from Saint Paul through Luther to Kierkegard. Representing a significant intervention into the way we encounter Shakespeares tragic figures, the book argues for a subjectivity which is not singular or abiding, but perilous and leaping. Author Biography Nicholas Luke is an Australian Rhodes Scholar with degrees in Law and the Arts. He is a Research Fellow at the University of Queensland Node of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions (Europe, 1100–1800).
