'Shakespeare Behind Bars was founded to assist the incarcerated in finding their authentic voices through an immersive experience in Shakespeare's original language, complex themes, and multiple meanings. I find myself today, happily aided in this process by writers in this collection from a rich variety of backgrounds who find truth in historical Shakespeare.' -- Curt L. Tofteland, Founder, Shakespeare Behind Bars 'This wide-ranging volume marks an exciting moment in the study of leadership and literature alike. Truly interdisciplinary in their approach, informed by rigorous scholarship, and engagingly written, the book's chapters help to broaden and deepen our understanding of Shakespeare's continuing-in some ways even increasing-resonance with problems of politics, power, and leadership in our world today.' -- Nicholas Warner, Claremont McKenna College, US 'Timely studies of a timeless author: from #metoo to racial justice to Donald Trump, this brilliant collection, edited by two leading scholars of leadership and literature, highlights the resonances between contemporary political issues and Shakespeare's complex explorations of authority, civic participation, leadership, autocracy-and human identity itself.' -- Michael Harvey, Provost, Washington College, US
