Description

Explore the deep connections between theater, theology, and law in Shakespeare's Curse: The Aporias of Ritual Exclusion in Early Modern Royal Drama. Published by Routledge as part of the Discourses of Law series, this scholarly work examines how the curse represents a foundational, mythical violence embedded within juridical discourse. Through a detailed reading of Richard III, King John, and King Lear, Bjorn Quiring analyzes the persistence of imprecations within the discourses of modernity. The book investigates the transformative period of juridical thinking during Shakespeare's era, looking at how ritual exclusion functions within royal drama.
