Synopsis

A concise, thoughtful study of William Shakespeare that tackles a timeless question: what is the true relationship between the poet and the man who created his greatest works? This five-lecture exploration traces how the author’s life, ideas, and dramatic craft intersect to produce the plays we cherish.

Drawing on a long tradition of Shakespeare scholarship, the text examines how the author drew on sources, reimagined material, and forged dramatic unity. It shows the drama as a living art that reflects deep human concerns, from love and ambition to power and fate. The discussions move from the poet’s origins to the ways his comedies and tragedies reveal his genius.

• Clarifies the tension and connection between Shakespeare’s life and his writing


• Analyzes how the plays are built from, and transformed by, their sources


• Examines Shakespeare as both a dramatist and a master of tragedy and comedy


• Offers a clear, accessible path through major themes and techniques

Ideal for readers seeking a solid, accessible introduction to Shakespeare’s life, craft, and enduring impact.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Présentation de l'éditeur

My intention to speak of Shakespeare in a series of five lectures, to an audience until now unfamiliar to me, is so bold a one that now, when I am about to put it into execution, it really astonishes me. Everyone who has given more than a superficial study to the mighty poet will be able to sympathize with me in this feeling.
