Shakespeare, Popularity and the Public Sphere
Doty, Jeffrey S. (University of North Texas)
When Shakespeare emphasized the importance of winning popular opinion, he offered ordinary playgoers a new understanding of power: to succeed, politicians needed the assent of the people. This book argues that Shakespeare's dramatization of 'popularity' encouraged playgoers to understand public relations tactics and that it underlined their role in a critical public sphere.
