Shakespeare's Magnanimity, Paperback / softback Book

Shakespeare's Magnanimity Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The field of Shakespearean studies is cluttered with the fossils of past discussion, and somehow we have to pick our way around them.

In the opening scene to this unusual book, these obstructive entities are brought to life and engage in lively argument.

Four essays on Hamlet, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra and Coriolanus follow, all of which freshen the air: unfamiliar, unspecialised, free-ranging and openly argumentative, but tied at all points to the original text.

Shakespeare wrote out of, and about, a common humanity, and it is with humanity, common and uncommon, that we must read or watch him.

This book is accordingly addressed to the academic or the new student.
