Ungentle Shakespeare: Scenes from His Life

Capa
Bloomsbury Academic, 22/03/2001 - 322 páginas
"The claim that virtually nothing is known about [Shakespeare's] life has been used to support a Romantic view of Shakespeare as free-standing genius in lofty isolation from the mundane doings of the Renaissance world. In fact... a substantial body of records bears witness to material aspects of the dramatist's life from baptism to burial and with much in between. There are also many contemporary allusions both to Shakespeare as player and poet and to his writings." -- Book jacket.
