A New Mimesis: Shakespeare and the Representation of Reality
A. D. Nuttall
In pursuit of a common-sense argument about realism, this work discusses English 18th-century and French neo-classical conceptions of realism, and considers "Julius Caesar", "Coriolanus", "The Merchant of Venice", "Othello", and both parts of "King Henry IV" as a feat of mimesis, with emphasis on Shakespeare's perception of society and culture.
