Shakespeare and the Uses of Antiquity: An Introductory Essay on Shakespeare and English Renaissance Classicism - Hardcover
Against a recent tendency to exaggerate Shakespeare's classical learning, this study examines how the playwright used his relatively restricted knowledge to create an unusually convincing picture of Rome.

From the Back Cover:
Shakespeare's knowledge of the Classics was based on a simple grammar school education, yet a third of his plays are set in the ancient world and he constantly used classical mythology, history and ideas. Shakespeare & The Uses Of Antiquity shows how he made the most of his reading of writers such as Ovid, Seneca, and (in translation) Homer and Plutarch, to give convincing life to his historical and fictional characters from antiquity.
About the Author:
Charles Martindale is Professor of Latin, Bristol University. Michelle Martindale teaches English and Latin at Lancing College.
