"I only believed Bacon wrote Shakespeare, whereas I knew Shakespeare didn’t." This is Twain's essential premise. We may not be able to prove conclusively who wrote the works that bear Shakespeare's name (though Francis Bacon gets Twain's vote), but given the facts, any thinking, "reasoning" (a word too often misappropriated by the Stratfordians, according to Twain) person can rule out William Shakespeare completely. If you want to enter the fray on the authorship controversy, this may not be the most authoritative place to start, but it'll probably be the most fun. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
An exponent of the theory that William Shakespeare, the modestly educated provincial man from Stratford-upon-Avon, could not have written the works - full of erudition and the accurate professional jargon - which are attributed to him, Mark Twain offers an eloquent and entertaining analysis of this issue of authorship, peppered with personal recollections of his own first encounters with the Bar's plays on a boat on the Mississippi. Balancing humour, insight and vitriol, 'Is Shakespeare Dead?' is a provocative contribution to the tradition of Shakespeare-doubting, as well as a fine example of the great American novelist's critical writing. This volume also includes Twain's racy Elizabethan pastiche, '1601', which features Shakespeare as one of its characters. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
