Raspa (retired, Laval Univ. , Canada) argues that contemporary Shakespeare criticism has moved too far away from the philosophical contexts of Shakespeare s own time . Raspa seeks to redress this by reading a variety of plays through the lens of Renaissance humanism, offering explanations of how Shakespeare s contemporaries would have necessarily understood various moments in the plays.
