The Shakespearean Myth - Appleton Morgan - Bog

Bag om The Shakespearean Myth

The Shakespearean Myth is a book written by Graham Morgan and David Appleton that challenges the traditional beliefs and assumptions surrounding the life and works of William Shakespeare. The authors argue that the popular image of Shakespeare as a solitary genius who wrote his plays in isolation is a myth, and that the true story of his life and work is much more complex and nuanced.The book explores a number of different topics related to Shakespeare, including his possible connections to the Elizabethan spy network, his relationships with other writers of the time, and the ways in which his plays were performed and received by audiences in his own time. The authors also delve into the various controversies and debates that have surrounded Shakespeare's work over the years, from questions about the authorship of certain plays to debates about the accuracy of historical details in his works.Throughout the book, Morgan and Appleton draw on a wide range of historical and literary sources to build a compelling case for their alternative vision of Shakespeare and his work. They argue that by understanding the social, political, and cultural context in which Shakespeare lived and worked, we can gain a deeper appreciation for his genius and the enduring power of his plays.Overall, The Shakespearean Myth is a thought-provoking and engaging book that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about one of the most celebrated writers in the English language. Whether you are a lifelong Shakespeare fan or a newcomer to his work, this book is sure to provide new insights and perspectives on his life and legacy.1881. William Shakespeare and circumstantial evidence. This work is an attempt to examine, from purely external evidence, a question which is recurring to confront investigation, that being who wrote the pages attributed to the name of William Shakespeare and at what age; what was composed by others; and what was written by others and simply touched up by Shakespeare or vice versa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
