Shakespeare and Impure Aesthetics
Grady, Hugh (Arcadia University, Pennsylvania)
This book explores ideas about art implicit in Shakespeare's plays and defines specific Shakespearean aesthetic practices in his use of desire, death and mourning as resources for art. It argues that such 'impure aesthetics' can revitalize the political impulses of the new historicism while creating a new aesthetic dimension in discussion of Shakespeare.
