Adding a new dimension to the plays Troilus and Cressida, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Hamlet, King Henry the Fifth, Love s Labor s Lost, A Midsummer Night s Dream, and All s Well That Ends Well, Maurice A. Hunt also references mirrors in a wide range of external sources, from the Bible to demonic practices. Looking at the concept of speculation through its multiple meanings - cognitive, philosophical, hypothetical, and provisional - this original reading suggests Shakespeare as a craftsman so prescient and careful in his art that he was able to criticize the queen and a former patron with such impunity that he could still live as a gentleman.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51680500515104,"sku":"NEW0230116612","price":62.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81L6tG4ankL.jpg?v=1779360979","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/shakespeares-speculative-art-0230116612","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
