A Few Concise Examples of Seven Hundred Errors in Shakspeare's Plays, Now Corrected and Elucidated: And Which Have Afforded Abundant Scope for ... Penetration of All Shakspeare's Commentators - Softcover
Synopsis
This book presents over seven hundred corrections and elucidations to the works of renowned playwright William Shakespeare. The author contends that many of the errors in past interpretations of Shakespeare's works arose from printing and transcription mistakes, and he corrects these errors to provide a clearer understanding of the playwright's intended meanings. The author argues that many of the great minds who attempted to interpret Shakespeare were hindered by the textual errors that had crept into his works throughout history, and that once these errors are corrected, new depths of meaning emerge. The book also offers insight into Shakespeare's creative process, and his use of puns, wordplay and contemporary slang to express larger truths about the human condition. The author's dedication to restoring Shakespeare's original words and meanings will be of interest to scholars, students and casual readers alike, offering fresh perspectives on the works of one of the most celebrated writers in the English language.
