Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the legacy of William Shakespeare, one of England's most celebrated writers. It delves into the challenges of editing and understanding Shakespeare's works, considering the numerous corruptions and obscurities that have accumulated over time due to the unique circumstances of his writing and the state of the printing press during his era. The author argues that Shakespeare's universal appeal stems from his ability to capture the essence of human nature, providing timeless reflections of life and manners that resonate across generations. The book examines the different approaches taken by previous editors, highlighting the author's own perspective and the value of a more direct and critical engagement with Shakespeare's text, rather than relying solely on the pronouncements of earlier commentators.
