| Summary |
This title explores texts by Shakespeare, Machiavelli, Milton, and others that have served as points of departure for such thinkers as Schmitt, Strauss, Benjamin, and Arendt. The book shows how Renaissance and Baroque literature help explain the persistence of political theology in modernity and postmodernity, but also how the re-emergence of political theology deepens out understanding of the early modern period. |
