Mu Xin said "Shakespeare, you can't touch it", Mr. Gao Quanxi did not listen to the persuasion, spent half of his life, but accidentally wrote a new book he valued most so far "Shakespeare's Historical Drama and the United Kingdom Crown".
There are many books on Shakespeare's plays, there are many books on United Kingdom history, and there are not few books on the origins of modern politics, but the integration of the three, easy control, and deriving some kind of constitutional law and constitutional history theory from it, I am afraid that there is only one book in China at present - this book is "Shakespeare's Historical Plays and the United Kingdom Crown" just published by Mr. Gao Quanxi.
Looking at the title of the book, you will know that it is not simple, it is worthy of Gao Quanxi's teacher, this kind of research, this kind of writing, I am afraid that it is unique in China. Mr. Gao Quanxi has written many books, such as the Scottish Enlightenment, Western political thought, and so on.
But those who are familiar with Mr. Gao know that in recent years, what he values and likes the most, and everyone recommends it is this very, very selective book "Shakespeare's Historical Plays and the United Kingdom Crown".
A unique and thorough perspective: follow Shakespeare to understand the political history of United Kingdom
Mr. Gao Quanxi's official title is a scholar of law and politics, and his readers are not ordinary people. Although Mr. Gao Quanxi's language is approachable and easy to understand, his writings often cover a wide range of topics.
Therefore, readers with weak basic knowledge reserves will have a hard time reading; However, readers with relevant basic knowledge will be willing to read his books like a river, and they will be addicted.
And the readers of this book are not ordinary people. "Shakespearean Historical Plays and the United Kingdom Crown" covers three major fields: dramatic literature, political law, and modern and modern historiography. Who would have thought that Shakespeare's historical plays would be inextricably linked to the political history of United Kingdom?
This kind of research is not unfounded or whimsical, but a paradigm of Shakespeare studies in the Western world in recent decades. Hegel once said that literature is the embodiment of the spirit of the times. Mr. Gao Quanxi's book uses Shakespeare's historical drama as a carrier to deepen our understanding of the constitutional history of the early United Kingdom dynasty and fill the gap in domestic related research.
There is no doubt that readers who like Shakespeare, as well as those who like history or politics, will be able to greatly expand their cognitive horizons with this book.
Spot debut: Gao Quanxi's autograph + seal + limited numbered book ticket
Readers who are familiar with Mr. Gao Quanxi almost all know that he was a professor at the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, dean of the Institute for Advanced Study of Humanities and Social Sciences at Beihang University, a professor and doctoral supervisor of the School of Law, and is now a chair professor at Kaiyuan Law School of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. It can be described as a strong qualification and an authority in the academic field.
However, if Mr. Gao's books are classified, they can be divided into two categories: "Shakespeare's Historical Plays and the United Kingdom Crown" and others. Just because this book is so special from content to form.
Mu Xin once said: "Shakespeare, you can't touch it." "It is probably said that Shakespeare's plays are too rich in connotation, and it is easy not to study them, otherwise they may be put into it for a lifetime. Mr. Gao Quanxi only chose one angle, until the research was thorough, and it took half a lifetime of effort, which can also be called a "feat".
