Rereading Troilus, Othello, King Lear, and As You Like It, Grady finds many parallels between Shakespeare's criticism and that of such critics as Marx, Horkheimer, Adorno, and Foucault, among others. In particular, Grady points to Shakespeare's keen interest in the twentieth-century concept of \"reification,\" where social systems spin out of control, operating under their own autonomous logic, beyond the reach of the society which had created them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51667118489888,"sku":"NEW019813004X","price":117.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71mWaUiJ-tL.jpg?v=1778958950","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/shakespeares-universal-wolf-postmodernist-studies-in-early-modern-reification-019813004x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
