Reviews
""Parvini's prose is engaging and accessible. His analysis of Shakespeare's plays is synthetic, perceptive, and illuminating, and his argumentation is trenchant"" or perhaps ""[an] unusual, provocative monograph"".--Patrick Gray ""The Review of English Studies, New Series, 1-4"" A very well written book, and considering the complicated history of ethics in the humanities, it is particularly remarkable for its clarity in detailing Shakespeare's contribution.-- ""James A. Knapp, Loyola University Chicago"" Shakespeare studies is well within a post-New Historicist phase today, and Neema Parvini's newest book, Shakespeare's Moral Compass, is a case in point, breaking with the progressive politics of New Historicism and drawing on the academic social sciences--specifically the controversial theory of evolutionary psychology--rather than history, philosophy, or economics.--Hugh Grady, Arcadia University ""Renaissance Quarterly"" Shakespeare's Moral Compass is an exemplar of what scholarship in the humanities should be - illuminating the human condition while drawing from multiple disciplines.-- ""Jonathan Haidt, New York University Stern School of Business, and author of The Righteous Mind""
