An Introductory Essay

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Shakespeare's knowledge of the Classics was based on a simple grammar school education, yet a third of his plays are set in the ancient world and he constantly used classical mythology, history and ideas. Shakespeare & The Uses Of Antiquity shows how he made the most of his reading of writers such as Ovid, Seneca, and (in translation) Homer and Plutarch, to give convincing life to his historical and fictional characters from antiquity.
