Overview
Brought to light in this study is a connection between the treatment of war in Shakespeare's plays, and the issue of the 'just war', which loomed large both in religious and in lay treatises of Shakespeare's time. The book re-reads Shakespeare's representations of war in light of both the changing historical and political contexts in which they were produced; and of Shakespeare's possible connection with the culture and ideology of the European just war tradition.
