Reviews

Shakespeare's poetry and drama provide an inexhaustible commentary on the world and our place in it. Yet Shakespeare never articulated a philosophy. The essays in this companion volume are a fine place to start for anyone who wants to think carefully about what a Shakespeare-inspired philosophy might be. Greg Currie, University of York, UK
