Sumario: | The author examines the representation of sovereignty in canonical works of the Renaissance: Shakespeare's 'Richard II', 'Measure for Measure' and 'The Winter's Tale', Lope de Vega's 'Fuenteovejuna', and Calderón de la Barca's 'Life is a Dream.' Structured as a series of questions and answers regarding the concept of sovereignty, each chapter is organised around a key representational operation performed on a body of power increasingly spectacularised, sacralised, de-sacralised, and, above all, troped in various ways. |
