This work provides the background to Shakespeare's plays. The author shows how Shakespeare came to occupy his current position at the pinnacle of English literature, how little we know of his life and how recent scholarship has made immense strides in illuminating his works. Subsequent chapters consider what we know about the social and political scene in Shakespeare's day, the rival theatrical companies in an age of the plague, plagiarism and literary piracy and the actual design of Elizabethan playhouses. Dr Harrison concludes by looking at the established canon and its chronology, the development of Shakespeare's style and the techniques used by modern editors to turn Folios and Quartos into readable texts.

Anbieter: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spanien
Zustand: Fair. : Este libro proporciona el contexto de las obras de Shakespeare. El autor muestra cómo Shakespeare llegó a ocupar su posición actual en la cima de la literatura inglesa, lo poco que sabemos de su vida y cómo la erudición reciente ha hecho inmensos progresos en la iluminación de sus obras. Los capítulos subsiguientes consideran lo que sabemos sobre la escena social y política en la época de Shakespeare, las compañías teatrales rivales en una época de peste, el plagio y la piratería literaria y el diseño real de los teatros isabelinos. El Dr. Harrison concluye observando el canon establecido y su cronología, el desarrollo del estilo de Shakespeare y las técnicas utilizadas por los editores modernos para convertir Folios y Quartos en textos legibles.
