Shapiro traces Shakespeare's formative and crucial role in our nation's history and contends that few writers or artists can shed as much light on the hot-button issues of American life--such as immigration, same-sex love, political violence, and class warfare--and that by better understanding the role of Shakespeare's plays in American history we might take steps towards mending our bitterly divided land"-- Provided by publisher.
