9780801856488: Shylock and the Jewish Question

Sinossi

Yaffee (philosophy and religious studies, U. of North Texas) challenges the assumption widely held by scholars that Shakespeare is, in the final analysis, unfriendly to Jews. He argues that The Merchant of Venice is a not only a work of literature but a subtle analysis of the Jew's place in a largely Christian society. He suggests that Shakespeare presents Shylock not as a typical Jew, but as a bad one, and contrasts Shakespeare's consideration of Judaism to that of Marlowe, Bacon, and Spinoza.
