Agnes Heller is Hannah Arendt Professor of Philosophy at the New School for Social Research in New York.
Shakespeare, who is truly our contemporary, provides the type of
genuine insight and subtle understanding of history and politics
that one rarely finds in more discursive treatises. Heller's fresh,
sensitive readings are always thought-provoking. She effectively
shows the richness and fertility of Shakespeare's dramas for
thinking about the most intractable political and historical
questions.
