That Shakespeherian Rag Pb

by Terence Hawkes

This collection of essays focuses on the ways in which our society 'processes' Shakespeare and the purposes for which this seems to be done. The case is deliberately made by means of concrete example, with an account of aspects of the work of four highly influential critics: A.C. Bradley, Sir Walter Raleigh, T.S. Eliot and John Dover Wilson. A romp through Shakespeare with a conclusion that jazz music offers the most fruitful model for twentieth-century criticism. London and New York: Methuen, 1986 First Printing. 5.5"x8.5" tall; x, 131pp. Indexed.
