Présentation de l'éditeur
The writer still believes that somebody, somewhere, has done the very thing he is doing, and has done it better. But inasmuch as a fairly careful search has failed to reveal anything of the kind, he has accepted the invitation of the editor of the Yale Review to publish a part of his essay, omitting for the sake of brevity many of the citations and discussions in the longer study. In the case of Orlando, audacity was justified by the event. May it not, in the present case, be at least excused? If we examine first of all Shakespeare splots, we notice that in not a few of his plays the action turns either wholly or in part upon economic questions. In Timon of A thens we have the example of a man not only rich but lavishly generous, so generous, in fact, that he impoverishes himself in order to be kind to his friends. But when he finds himself pinched and confidently calls upon those whom he has helped to come to his assistance and lend him money, they all begin to make excuses. His indignation at this ingratitude embitters him and finally unhinges his mind. We have here one of those economic situations which are liable to occur under any organization of society, whether patriarchal or capitalistic, and many a Wall Street magnate of our day has found himself, when fortune ceased to favor him, pushed aside as mercilessly as was Timon of A thens. As a composer will often take a simple theme and develop it into a symphony, so it almost seems as if Shakespeare had developed the tragedy of Timon of A thens out of the thought expressed by Jaques in As You Like It :S weep on, you fat and greasy citizens; Tis just the fashion: wherefore do you look Upon that poor and broken bankrupt there? The Merchant of Venice is in a sense the antithesis of Timon of A thens.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Delve into the fascinating intersection of literature and economics as this book explores the surprising depth of William Shakespeare's understanding of economic principles. Set against the backdrop of Elizabethan England's burgeoning trade and exploration, the author unveils how Shakespeare's works reflect the economic realities and anxieties of his time. From the intricacies of international commerce and currency devaluation to the complexities of social class and land ownership, Shakespeare's plays offer a window into the economic forces shaping the lives of ordinary people. The author expertly analyzes how economic themes are woven into the plots, characters, and even language of Shakespeare's works, revealing his keen observations on topics like usury, monopolies, and the changing nature of work. This book challenges the perception of economics as a dry and distant subject, demonstrating its profound connection to human drama and the artistic imagination. By illuminating Shakespeare's economic insights, the author invites us to appreciate the Bard's works with a fresh perspective and to recognize the enduring relevance of economic issues in understanding history, society, and ourselves.
