Introduction: Shakespeare Ever After; S.Herbrechter -- PART I: READING SHAKESPEARE 'AFTER' HUMANISM -- The Science of the Heart: Shakespeare, Kames and the Eighteenth-Century Invention of the Human; N.Rhodes -- 'A passion so strange, outrageous, and so variable:' The Invention of the Inhuman in The Merchant of Venice; S.Herbrechter -- Shakespeare and the Character of Sheep; B.Boehrer -- Homeostasis in Shakespeare; G.Egan -- PART II: 'POSTHUMANIST' READINGS -- Care, Scepticism, Speaking in the Plural: Posthumanisms and Humanisms in King Lear; A.Mousley -- Cyborg Coriolanus / Monster Body Politic; M.Pfannebecker -- Renaissance Self-Unfashioning: Shakespeare's Late Plays as Exercises in Unravelling the Human; R.Emig -- Surviving Truth (Measure for Measure); M.Robson -- PART III: HAMLET, 'POSTHUMANIST' -- (Post-)Heideggerian Hamlet; L.Milesi -- Loam, Moles, and l'homme: Reversible Hamlet; M-D.Garnier -- 'This'?': Posthumanism and the Graveyard Scene in Hamlet; I.Callus -- Afterword: Post-Posthumanist Me: An Illiterate Reads Shakespeare; A.M.Cohen & D.B.King.

Posthumanist Shakespeares is a critical investigation of the relationship between early modern culture and contemporary political and technological changes concerning the idea of the 'human.' The volume covers the tragedies King Lear and Hamlet in particular, but also provides posthumanist readings of The Merchant of Venice, Measure for Measure, Coriolanus, The Winter's Tale, Timon of Athens and Pericles. The value of the collection lies in extending a posthumanist paradigm to interpretations of Shakespeare, and in demonstrating how posthumanism can be in turn read back by Shakespeare's work. What emerges from Posthumanist Shakespeares is that the encounter between posthumanism and Shakespeare studies, far from being unlikely, is productive for both fields and can lead to a critical rethinking of both, recasting questions concerning time, life, death, science, technology, and the nature of the human.
