ABSTRACT
What are Shakespeare’s beliefs about love and politics, nature and art, men and women? This remarkable figure, whom Coleridge once called “myriad-minded Shakespeare”—this playwright claimed by nations and individuals around the globe as “our Shakespeare” (unser Shakespeare)—what were his real opinions about art and life? What would Shakespeare say about the world we inhabit today? What would Shakespeare say-and, to paraphrase another contemporary mantra, what would Shakespeare do?
