Book Synopsis
For Shakespeare, tyranny is a perpetual political and human problem. This work locates Shakespeare's expansive definition of tyranny between the definitions accepted by classical and modern political philosophy.

Trade Review
To be at once subtle and clear is no small achievement, but Mary Ann McGrail makes it seem deceptively easy. Her fine study sheds a new, bright light on Shakespeare's profound explorations of the impulse to tyrannize over others. -- Ralph Lerner, University of Chicago
