Shakespeare in a Divided America: What His Plays Tell Us about Our Past and Future by James Shapiro

5.0

I got this audiobook after seeing it in several best of 2020 list. I didn’t really know what to expect - but it was so timely, fascinating and thought-provoking (and rather disturbing in a number of places). I found myself wanting to examine Shakespeare’s plays more closely. I highly recommend to those interested in history, politics, English literature and examining/grappling with division throughout American history.
