Biografisk notat
Kevin Curran is Professor of Early Modern Literature at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and general editor of Edinburgh Critical Studies in Shakespeare and Philosophy. His books include Shakespeare’s Theater of Judgment (2024), Shakespeare’s Legal Ecologies (2017), Renaissance Personhood (2020) and Shakespeare and Judgment (2017).
Curran’s book is a perfect example not only of how significant law was to Shakespeare but also of the theoretical and political resources it offers to literary criticism today, a lesson extended even further by a significant collection of essays that Curran has also edited on Shakespeare and Judgment.
- Henry S. Turner, Recent Studies in Tudor and Stuart Drama, ‘SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900,’ Volume 58, Number 2, spring 2018,
Curran’s Shakespeare and Judgment represents an achievement; a fresh look at judgment in Shakespeare’s plays.
- Thomas E Simmons, University of South Dakota, Edinburgh Law Review Vol 21
What is Judgment?,' Kevin Curran asks in this volume’s lucid introduction. The answers proffered here demonstrate the category’s centrality to religion, law, rhetoric, ethics and philosophy, as well as to the practice of theatergoing. Shakespeare and Judgment illuminates a playwright profoundly interested in what (and how) judgment enables and disables.
