"Political theology" has become a hot topic in the humanities, thanks to writings by intellectuals as diverse as Giorgio Agamben and Mark Lilla. Julia Lupton's book is the first study to use this potent idea to recover the strange mix of political and religious thinking in Shakespeare's time. Lupton's contribution to this area is to show how Shakespeare uses the "Citizen-Saint," a figure who is at once divine messenger and civil servant, both an exception and the norm. Embodied in such diverse figures as Antigone, Paul, Barnabas, Shylock, Othello, Caliban, Isabella, and Samson, this Citizen-Saint is a figure of moral and aesthetic extremes whose sacrifice establishes a new regime of citizenship. Lupton's book is theoretically sophisticated, employing the work of Marx, Benjamin, Rosenzweig, and Levinas in order to analyze key moments of civic engagement in"The Merchant of Venice, ""Othello, ""The Tempest, "and other major plays and texts."
