An awardwinning scholar and teacher explores how Shakespeares greatest characters were built on a learned sense of empathy'Thoughtful, astute, invitingly readableand uncommonly timely. Especially now that so many younger readers are casting suspicious glances at Shakespeare, Of Human Kindness shows with mindchanging clarity why his work has never been more relevant to our common problems.'Terry Teachout, drama critic, Wall Street JournalA warm and committed book, firmly rooted in long experience of the classroom.Emma Smith, Times Literary SupplementWhile discussing Shakespeares plays in her university classroom, Paula Marantz Cohen discovered that they unlocked a surprising sense of compassion in both herself and her students. In this short and illuminating book, she shows how Shakespeares genius lay in his ability to arouse empathy, even when his characters exist in alien contexts and behave in reprehensible ways. Cohen takes her readers through a selection of Shakespeares most famous plays, including Hamlet,Othello,King Lear, and The Merchant of Venice, to demonstrate the ways in which Shakespeare thought deeply and clearly about how we treat the other. Cohen argues that only through close reading of Shakespeare can we fully appreciate his empathetic responses to race, class, gender, and age. Wise, eloquent, and thoughtful, this book is a forceful argument for literatures power to champion what is best in us.
