Abstract

"The poets of the mid-nineteenth century lived in a time of 'nation-building'. The Realms of Verse brings this political and intellectual context to life. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Matthew Reynolds shows that the Italian Risorgimento raised questions about community and individual liberty which were especially problematic for subjects of the multi-national United Kingdom, and argues that these questions are at the heart of the poetry of Robert and Elizabeth Browning, Tennyson, and Clough. Their long poems characteristically tell stories about marriage, investigating the symbolic and actual interactions between that personal union and national unity. Their verse as a whole exploits correspondences between political government and poetic form, and is alert to its own role in fostering a common culture. Historically detailed, theoretically astute, critically nimble, and stylishly written, The Realms of Verse is the most far-reaching reassessment of Victorian poetry to have been published in recent years."--Jacket.

Abstract

This is the first collaborative volume to place Shakespeare's works within the landscape of early modern political thought. Until recently, literary scholars have not generally treated Shakespeare as a participant in the political thought of his time, unlike his contemporaries Ben Jonson, Edmund Spenser and Philip Sidney. At the same time, historians of political thought have rarely turned their attention to major works of poetry and drama. A distinguished international and interdisciplinary team of contributors examines the full range of Shakespeare's writings in order to challenge conventional interpretations of plays central to the canon, such as Hamlet; open up novel perspectives on works rarely considered to be political, such as the Sonnets; and focus on those that have been largely neglected, such as The Merry Wives of Windsor. The result is a coherent and challenging portrait of Shakespeare's distinctive engagement with the characteristic questions of early modern political thought.

Abstract

Shakespeares Bühnenwelt ist zutiefst herrschaftlich geprägt. Wie ein goldenes Band durchzieht all seine Stücke die Gegenwart von Königen, Herzögen, Caesaren, Prinzen und Dogen. Stets bildet eine Herrschaft jenen 'Schicksalsraum menschlicher Tragik', innerhalb dessen sich seine Bühnencharaktere bewegen. Wie aber sah dieses Herrscherbild aus? Welche Elemente bestimmten jene geistige Kulisse, vor der Shakespeare seine Herrscher Gestalt annehmen lassen konnte? Dieser Frage nähert sich die Studie zunächst über eine Betrachtung der zeitgenössischen Herrscherporträtkunst, der Fürstenspiegel- und Höflingsbuchtradition, wie auch anderer, halbdramatischer Darstellungsformen der Zeit. Abgesehen von diesem für den Dramatiker Shakespeare so wertvollen Requisitenschatz ist gerade in England die juristische Fiktion von den 'Zwei Körpern des Königs' von größter Bedeutung für das zeitgenössische Herrscherverständnis. Sie wurde zur zentralen Quelle einer reichhaltigen und vielschichtigen Herrschaftsmetaphorik, die sich in allen Stücken Shakespeares aufspüren läßt und in der sich, wie gezeigt wird, ein zutiefst dualistisch geprägtes Herrscherbild manifestiert. Der Fürst ist göttlich und menschlich, ewig und endlich zugleich. Er ist Teil eines hierarchischen und gleichzeitig doch interdependenten Gefüges. Er ist geradezu mystisch verklärt und doch den politischen Realitäten unterworfen. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser ewigen und unlösbaren Spannung zwischen Idealität und Realität entsteht ein vielschichtiges, vielfältiges, ja zum Teil sogar widersprüchliches Herrscherbild, das sich einfachen Erklärungsmustern entzieht und in seiner spannungsvollen Dynamik bis heute fasziniert.

Defoe's politics : Parliament, power, kingship, and Robinson Crusoe

Abstract

This study of Defoe's politics aims to challenge the critical demand to see Defoe as a 'modern' and to counter misrepresentations of his political writings by restoring them to their seventeenth-century context. Offering a full examination of Defoe's years as a political reporter and journalist (1689-1715), it recovers his traditional, conservative and anti-Lockean ideas on contemporary issues: the origins of society, the role of the people in the establishment of a political society and how monarchies are created and maintained as the means of achieving a beneficent political order. At the heart of Defoe's political imagination, Manuel Schonhorn finds the vision of a warrior-king, derived from sources in the Bible and in ancient and English history. This model illuminates his original reading of Defoe's greatest political fiction, Robinson Crusoe, which emerges less in terms of a family romance, a tract for the rising bourgeoisie or a Lockean parable of government, than as a dramatic re-enactment of Defoe's lifelong political preoccupations concerning society, government and kingship.
