Nordlund (English, G繹teborg U., Sweden) explores how Shakespeare dramatized the subject of love, distinguishing his work by taking a "bio-cultural" approach to the topic that seeks to
simultaneously understand the playwright as both a Homo sapiens and an Elizabethan and thereby avoid reductive historicism. He examines Shakespeare's treatment of parental love in Titus
Andronicus and Coriolanus, filial love in King Lear, romantic love in Troilus and Cressida and All's Well That Ends Well, and jealousy in Othello and The Winter's Tale. Annotation 穢2008 Book
