Shakespeare and the Nature of Man (Cambridge Library Collection - Shakespeare and Renaissance Drama)

Theodore Spencer

4.9/5 (17975 ratings)

Description:Analysing Shakespeare’s historical background and craft, Spencer’s 1943 study investigates the intellectual debates of Shakespeare’s age, and the effect these had on the drama of the time. The book outlines the key conflict present in the sixteenth century – the optimistic ideal of man’s place in the universe, as presented by the theorists of the time, set against the indisputable and ever-present fact of original sin. This conflict about the nature of man, argues Spencer, is perhaps the deepest underlying cause for the emergence of great Renaissance drama. With detailed reference to Shakespeare’s great tragedies, the book demonstrates how Shakespeare presents the fact of evil masked by the appearance of good. Shakespeare’s last plays, especially The Winter’s Tale and The Tempest, are also analysed in detail to show how they embody a different view from the tragedies, and the discussion is related to the larger perspective of general human experience.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
