INTRODUCING SHAKESPEARE - George Bagshawe Harrison (engl.)

Shakespeare's absolute pre-eminence is simply unparalleled. His plays pack theatres and provide Hollywood with block-buster scripts; his works inspire mountains of scholarship and criticism every year. He has given us many of the very words we speak, and even some of the thoughts we think. Nick Groom and Piero explore how Shakespeare became so famous and influential, and why he is still widely considered the greatest writer ever. They investigate how the Bard has been worshiped at different times and in different places, used and abused to cultural and political ends, and the roots of intense controversies which have surrounded his work. Much more than a biography or a guide to his plays and sonnets, "INTRODUCING SHAKESPEARE" is a tour through the world of Will and concludes that even after centuries, Shakespeare remains the battlefield on which our very comprehension of humanity is being fought out.

Publisher; "PENGUIN BOOKS" Middlesex U.K. Paperback edition, 232 pages. Dimensions: 11 x 18 cm. The book is very well preserved.

Shakespeareova apsolutna predrasuda jednostavno je bez premca. Njegove predstave prepune kazališta i pružaju Hollywoodu skripte za razbijanje blokova; njegovi radovi svake godine nadahnjuju planine učenja i kritike. Dao nam je mnoge riječi koje izgovaramo, pa čak i neke misli koje mislimo. Nick Groom i Piero istražuju kako je Shakespeare postao tako poznat i utjecajan te zašto ga i danas uveliko smatraju najvećim piscem ikad. Oni istražuju kako su Barda obožavali u različitim vremenima i na različitim mjestima, koristili i zlostavljali ga do kulturnih i političkih ciljeva, te korijene intenzivnih kontroverzi koje su okruživale njegov rad. Mnogo više od biografije ili vodiča njegovih predstava i soneta, „UVOD U SHAKESPEARA“ je izuzetan literarni vodič, uz zaključak da Shakespeare čak i nakon stoljeća ostaje predmet borbe ne samo na području književnosti, već se radi o sveobuhvatnom shvaćanju povijesti čovječanstva.
