{"product_id":"shakespeare-and-montaigne-9781474458245","title":"Shakespeare and Montaigne","description":"\u003cp\u003eShakespeare and Montaigne share a grounded, genial sense of the lived reality of human experience, as well as a surprising depth of engagement with history, literature and philosophy. With celebrated subtlety and incisive humour, both authors investigate abiding questions of epistemology, psychology, theology, ethics, politics and aesthetics. In this collection, distinguished contributors consider these influential, much-beloved figures in light of each other. The English playwright and the French essayist, each in his own fashion, reflect on and evaluate the Renaissance, the Reformation and the rise of new modern perspectives many of us now might readily recognise as our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLars Engle, Chapman Professor of English at Tulsa, is the author of \u003ci\u003eShakespearean Pragmatism\u003c\/i\u003e, coauthor of \u003ci\u003eStudying Shakespeare's Contemporaries\u003c\/i\u003e, and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eEnglish Renaissance Drama: A Norton Anthology\u003c\/i\u003e.
