This encyclopedia-style Dictionary is a comprehensive reference guide to Shakespeare's literary knowledge and recent scholarship on it. Nearly 200 entries cover the full range of literary writing Shakespeare was acquainted with, and which influenced his own work, including classical, historical, religious and contemporary works. It provides an overview of his use of authors such as Virgil, Chaucer, Erasmus, Marlowe and Samuel Daniel, whose influence is across the canon. Other entries cover anonymous or collective works such as the Bible, Emblems, Homilies, Chronicle History plays and the Morality tradition in drama. Entries cover writers and works whose importance to Shakespeare has emerged more clearly in recent years due to new research. Others describe and explain current thinking on long-recognized sources such as Plutarch, Ovid, Holinshed, Ariosto and Montaigne. Entries for all major sources, over 80 in number, feature surveys of the writer's place in Shakespeare's time, detailed dicussion of the relationship to Shakespeare's plays and poems, and full bibliography. Sample passages from writers and texts of early modern England allow the volume to be used also as a reader in the literature commonly known in Shakespeare's era; these excerpts, together with reproductions of pages and illustrations from the original texts, convey the flavor of the material as Shakespeare would have encountered it.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. This brand new translation of Martin Heidegger's "Mindfulness" (Besinnung) makes available in English for the first time Heidegger's second major being-historical treatise. Composed in 1938/39, right after the completion of "Contributions to Philosophy", this work has a significant thematic proximity to that earlier work. Here Heidegger returns to and elaborates in detail many of the individual dimensions of the historically self-showing and transforming allotments of being. In this work Heidegger explores further that decisive hermeneutic-phenomemological perspective that experiences, thinks and projects - open the truth of being as renowning. This perspective anticipates and illuminates much of Heidegger's thinking in the 1950s and 60s. In addition to the main text, this volume also includes two further important texts, "A Retrospective Look at the Pathway" (1937/8) and "The Wish and the Will (On Preserving What is Attempted)" (1937/8), in which Heidegger surveys his unpublished works, gives instructions for their eventual publication, talks about his relationship to Catholic and Protestant Christianity, and reflects on his life's path. This is a major new translation of a key text from one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR009981991
