Cohen reveals how the battling princes of \u003ci\u003eHenry IV\u003c\/i\u003e and scheming senators of \u003ci\u003eJulius Caesar\u003c\/i\u003e can teach us to better understand power and politics today. The White House, after all, is a court-with intrigue and conflict rivalling those on the Globe's stage-as is an army, a business, or a university. And each court is full of driven characters, in all their ambition, cruelty, and humanity. \u003ci\u003eHenry V\u003c\/i\u003e's inspiring speeches reframe John F. Kennedy's appeal, \u003ci\u003eRichard III\u003c\/i\u003e's wantonness illuminates Vladimir Putin's brutality, and \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e's grace offers a window into the presidency of George Washington. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn original and incisive perspective, \u003ci\u003eThe Hollow Crown\u003c\/i\u003e shows how Shakespeare's works transform our understanding of the leaders who, for good or ill, make and rule our world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54242703835480,"sku":"9781541644861","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/hollow-crown-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
