Shakespeare’s Extremes 
Wild Man, Monster, Beast

Shakespeare’s Extremes is a controversial intervention in current critical debates on the status of the human in Shakespeare’s work. By focusing on three flagrant cases of human exorbitance – Edgar, Caliban and Julius Caesar – this book seeks to limn out the domain of the human proper in Shakespeare.
