This collection explores the diverse connections between the works of William Shakespeare and the themes of war and conflict. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from Shakespeare's use of military manuals written for the English audience of the 16th century to critical reflections on Shakespeare's representations in various historical contexts, including Nazi Germany, wartime Denmark, and the Cold War in Romania.
