Jerry Herbel argues that Shakespeare's ideas about enduring principles of politics transcend their own time. The book tackles head-on arguments criticizing Shakespeare's supposedly outdated ideas on war, family, law, and statesmanship, showing to the contrary that his insight into these crucial elements of civic life is still essential for students of modern politics. Many contemporary directors and actors of film adaptations have demonstrated this point. Herbel examines \u003ci\u003eHenry V\u003c\/i\u003e (1985) directed by Kenneth Branagh, \u003ci\u003eCoriolanus\u003c\/i\u003e (2011) directed by Ralph Fiennes, \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e (2018) directed by Richard Eyre, and \u003ci\u003eThe Tragedy of Macbeth\u003c\/i\u003e (2021) directed by Joel Coen. Each chapter provides historical context for Shakespeare's original productions along with analyses of how these films convey the same foundational elements of politics to the present. The book echoes Ben Jonson's famous statement about Shakespeare: “He was not of an age, but for all time!”\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJerry Herbel\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of public administration at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia.
