Description
In Shakespeare the Historian Paola Pugliatti proposes that Shakespeare's staging of English history helped to establish a new historiographical outlook. Through close examination of the playwright's varied methods and writing styles, she argues that Shakespeare achieved a radical multi-perspectivism or polyphony through which he was able to challenge the monologic practice of contemporary historical sources and cross-examine political issues, thus inaugurating a problem-orientated, critical historiography.
