Shakespeare: An Existential View
Last updated October 31, 2026
David Horowitz's early book of literary criticism, written in England in the mid-1960s, reads Shakespeare's plays through the lens of existentialist thought.

Published long before his political books, it shows the literary training he received at Columbia and Berkeley.
