In this short and illuminating book, she shows how Shakespeare's genius lay with his ability to arouse empathy, even when his characters exist in alien contexts and behave in reprehensible ways. Cohen takes listeners through a selection of Shakespeare's 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 response to race, class, gender, and age. Wise, eloquent, and thoughtful, this book is a forceful argument for literature's power to champion what is best in us. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Shakespeare, William,|d1564-1616|xCharacters. 650 0 Empathy in literature. 650 0 Kindness in literature. 700 1 Metzger, Janet. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13725321?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781705296257_180.jpeg
