Overview

This title offers fresh new insights that will give even long-time readers of Shakespeare a new appreciation of the bard's works. Scholars have long debated the extent of Shakespeare's education. Although his friend and admirer Ben Jonson said of him ""thou hadst small Latine and lesse Greek,"" Shakespeare's plays reveal a wide familiarity with literary and philosophical works from the Renaissance, the Middle Ages, and the Classical age. This insightful volume delves into this fascinating topic with a detailed study of the philosophical influences evident in Shakespeare's plays and sonnets. Readers will be surprised and delighted to discover in Shakespeare unmistakable echoes of Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Dante, Montaigne, and many other famous thinkers. ""Philosophical Pearls of the Shakespearean Deep"" offers many fresh insights that will give even many long-time readers of Shakespeare a new appreciation of the bard's works.
