Shakespeare's Freedom

Informationen zum Autor Stephen Greenblatt is the John Cogan University Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University. He is the author of Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare ; Hamlet in Purgatory ; and the groundbreaking Renaissance Self-Fashioning , the latter book published by the University of Chicago Press. Klappentext With the elegance and verve for which he is well known, Greenblatt, author of the bestselling "Will in the World," shows that Shakespeare was strikingly averse to such absolutes as scripture, monarch, and God, and constantly probed the possibility of freedom from them. Zusammenfassung Shakespeare lived in a world of absolutes - the absolute authority claimed for God over the world! for the holy scriptures over the faithful! monarchs over subjects! fathers over wives and children! men over women. This book shows that Shakespeare was averse to such absolute claims and constantly probed the possibility of freedom from them.
