Yuichi Tsukada, Shakespeare and the Politics of Nostalgia (London; New York: Arden Shakespeare, 2019)

Recently reviewed in Theatre Journal (Johns Hopkins University Press):

“The greatest strength of this study is Tsukada’s rich, nuanced rereadings of scenes from (and indeed critical interpretations of) Macbeth, Antony & Cleopatra, Coriolanus, and Cymbeline that would on the surface seem to be done to death. This book proves the contrary—that it is possible to find more complexity in Shakespeare’s engagement with both the monarch on the throne (James) and the looming shadow of his predecessor (Elizabeth) than has been previously assumed. In addition to discussing Shakespeare, Tsukada engages with other contemporary dramatists, poets, and essayists; James’s own official statements and policies; and the copious modern critical tradition. The result is a study that builds upon, rather than tearing down, those with whom it disagrees. Furthermore, the book’s conciseness, its careful engagement with critical conversations, and its clarity of style and argument make it especially useful for undergraduates approaching these thornier late plays, and for graduate students seeking models for how to productively engage with the enormous volume of Shakespeare criticism already available.”
