Description
vii, 198 pages; 23 cm
Summary
"Set in politically unstable environments, Shakespeare plays and HBO's Western series Deadwood all stand as critiques of myths of national origin. Drawing parallels between the Shakespeare plays and Deadwood, the author explores questions about legitimate political authority, the qualities of an effective leader, gender roles and community, and the reciprocal relationship between past and present in historical narratives"--
