Jack ’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Shakespeare's Freedom (The Rice University Campbell Lectures)
Shakespeare's Freedom (The Rice University Campbell Lectures) by Stephen Greenblatt
6 notes & 69 highlights
What is striking is that his work, alert to every human fantasy and longing, is allergic to the absolutist strain so prevalent in his world, from the metaphysical to the mundane.
