DescriptionFirst published in 1996, James Shapiros pathbreaking analysis of the portrayal of Jews in Elizabethan England challenged readers to recognize the significance of Jewish questions in Shakespeares day. From accounts of Christians masquerading as Jews to fantasies of settling foreign Jews in Ireland, Shapiros work delves deeply into the cultural insecurities of Elizabethans while illuminating Shakespeares portrayal of Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. In a new preface, Shapiro reflects upon what he has learned about intolerance since the first publication of Shakespeare and the Jews.About the AuthorJames Shapiro is the Larry Miller Professor of English at Columbia University and a governor of the Folger Shakespeare Library. He is the author of several books, including The Year of Lear: Shakespeare in 1606 (2015) and 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare (2005).
