"To William Shakespeare, working actor-play-wright, the banning of books, the deleting of passages from plays by the censor, and the closing of theatres as a form of political reprisal were everyday problems. His fellow Londoners were being exiled, imprisoned, maimed, and tortured for political dissent. There was an unpopular Irish war, open scheming for the succession, bitter factionalism at court. Shakespeare was in the middle of all this turmoil. Yet critics would have us believe that he remained the aloof Olympian, removed in interest from his world and its agonies. Now Thomas H. Jameson, in a challenging exposition of the plays of this period, demonstrates that Shakespeare was in fact a vigorous and open rebel against the new Tudor tyranny. The poet's critical commentary on his times is subtle and masked, but it is present - and probably was intelligible tso his contemporaries."
