Media Reviews

Infrastructure, design, climate change, environmental friendliness, the politics of hospitality--these issues are everywhere. In Shakespeare Dwelling, Lupton brings her characteristic originality of vision to bear on the role played by a variety of interpersonal bonds when it comes to understanding our relation to the material world, as well as the self-relations required in our relations to objects. She does this by treating us to eye-opening readings of Shakespeare--her specialty--without ever losing sight of what Shakespeare was watching: the 'theater of life.' --Paul A. Kottman, The New School for Social Research
Shakespeare Dwelling takes its place in a trilogy that started with Citizen-Saints and continued in Thinking with Shakespeare. Together the three books offer an extended meditation on interfaces among politics, life, and literature (especially drama, and especially Shakespeare) that is, in my judgment, largely unmatched since the collapse of Modernism and the fading from view of public intellectuals like Lionel Trilling. Such ambitions, as Julia demonstrates, are still possible.
--Bruce R. Smith, University of Southern California
