Forrest Gummo 253 on Nostr: Shakespeare is important because he straddles the psychic delineation of the last ...
Shakespeare is important because he straddles the psychic delineation of the last truly human war, between Catholicism and Protestantism. Wars afterwards are wars of machinery and raw killing power over the ownership of humans as quantifiable production output. But the forces that would culminate in the English Civil War were already deeply felt in Shakespeare’s time a generation earlier. It was the last time men fought purely for ideas alone.
