Description

The Essential Shakespeare by John Dover Wilson. "Here, in a nutshell, is the kind of man I believe Shakespeare to have been" says Dr Dover Wilson of this book. It is an attempt to fathom Shakespeare's personality and character as well as the events of his career. Shakespeare is placed in the setting of Elizabethan England, and he is shown to have taken a keen and personal interest in the course of history - especially as it affected his noble patrons Essex and Southampton. The plays manifest this interest; Dr Dover Wilson also argues that they reflect Shakespeare's own personal development, from youth and vitality in the comedies, through tension amounting to nightmare in the tragedies, to final peace of mind.' The book has light to medium general wearscuffing and rubing of the covers but the book remains tight and bright.
