This book significantly extends and enriches our sense of Shakespearean drama. The plays, in Bradd Shore's anthropological reading, are not only narratives, the unfolding of events and characters, but also enacted ideas; the ideas partake of philosophy, social theory, political science, the full range of human thought and behavior. Shore is not reading between the lines, but in the fullest sense reading the lines, with an awareness of their history and intellectual context. Stephen Orgel, J. E. Reynolds Professor in Humanities, Emeritus, Stanford University Bradd Shore has managed to bring together some of the classic texts of modern anthropology with several of Shakespeare's greatest plays. The result is a kind of interpretive kula ring, a gift exchange of mutual insight. Stephen Greenblatt, John Cogan University Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University
