(Ebook) Hamlet's Moment: Drama and Political Knowledge in Early Modern England by Andras Kisery ISBN 9780198746201, 0198746202

Hamlet's moment' reveals how plays written in the first decade of the seventeenth century were shaped by forms of professional political knowledge and by the social promises such knowledge held, and they familiarized their audiences with them. This argument presupposes that there was such a thing as a political profession, however loosely understood: that there was a career path associated with political employment that was assumed to be a path to social advancement, and that there was a recognizable body of knowledge and mode of thinking defining it. To show this, the first half of the book focuses on Hamlet and its reflection on the conditions of political employment, on the characteristics of thinking in a politic manner, on the education and intellectual work required for advancement in political careers, arguing that in Shakespeare's play, drama turns from open, military conflict to diplomacy and court policy, and from the public contestation of power to the technologies of government. The later chapters turn to plays that follow in the wake of Shakespeare's path-breaking tragedy.0Plays written by Ben Jonson, John Marston, George Chapman and others in the following years shared a similar focus, inviting the public to imagine what it meant to have a political career. In doing so, they transformed political knowledge into a more broadly useful type of cultural capital, something even people without political agency could deploy in conversation and use in claiming social distinction. The book suggests that the demand for this social asset was a driving force behind the burgeoning public discussion of the 17th century, and thus, ultimately, behind the rise of the modern public sphere. Abstract: Hamlet's Moment reveals how plays written in the first decade of the seventeenth century were shaped by forms of professional political knowledge and by the social promises such knowledge held, and they familiarized their audiences with them.
