Description

Mr. Fred V. Bernard has dedicated his life to the study of literature, specifically Elizabethan Literature, which has led him to write this book. He taught literature for 34 years at Wayne State University, The University of Michigan, and Aquinas College. 


Writers who adopt the structural method revealed in my study produce works so astonishing “because of our symmetrical additions” that they make almost every other critical effort appear to be the work of someone asleep.
The symmetrical additions produce brilliant actions that simply make us gape in astonishment, and those actions refine their characters to make us almost gasp. The effect is an entirely new poem, play, and novel, undreamt
of in our philosophies.

 With this, I wish you good reading. See what exposes the human soul in Beowulf, what opens closed hearts in The Merchant, what exposes Horatio as the falsest of false friends, what shows Ishmael’s voyage as one of unbelievable love, what shows James’s virtual tunneling his way deep into American atrocities against American blacks, and what shows us the atrocities of Irish Priests and Fathers against Irish sons and daughters. Find something astonishing upon every page.
