Author:
Whitver, H. Austin.
Type:
Book Monograph
Year:
2023
Publication Information:
Abingdon: Routledge, 2023. viii + 212
Annotation:

Explores rhetoric of Shakespeare's references to tombs and funeral monuments, drawing on examples from the first and second tetralogies, Timon of Athens, Antony and Cleopatra, and Winter's Tale. Argues that Henry V uses tomb and monument "symbolism not only to engage with his own past and the past of his country but also to envision a future when he endures eternally through his conquests and his monument." Suggests that early modern tombs are symbols of remembrance, revision, and future-building.

The Death of Hamlet: A Counterfactual Reading of Shakespeare
Author:
Khan, Amir.
Type:
Book Monograph
Year:
2025
Publication Information:
Abingdon: Routledge, 2025. xiv + 128
Annotation:

Counters traditional assertions that interpret Hamlet's "delay as problem," building on W. W. Greg's argument and countering Stanley Cavell's. Juxtaposes Hamlet with Lu Xun's The True Story of Ah Q, a postcolonial novella. Turning to Julius Caesar, suggests "that Brutus is lost within a mythologized history that creates a false dichotomy between republican virtue and tyrannical monarchy." Suggests that Timon of Athens "showcases how and why the realities of social life under the specific parameters of surplus ... exchange tend to restrict Timon's, and hence our, ability to imagine alternative futures."
