Description

Explore the deep connection between William Shakespeare and classical antiquity in this scholarly work from The Arden Shakespeare series. This book challenges Ben Jonson's famous claim regarding Shakespeare's limited knowledge of Greek by analyzing a significant group of texts. It argues that these works actually contain more Greek influence than Latin, utilizing generic hybridity to reflect the complex early modern view of Greece. To the writers and thinkers of early modern England, Greece represented a fascinating enigma. It was seen as the peak of Western philosophy, democracy, and tragedy, while also being viewed as a fallen state under Ottoman control. This text examines how Shakespeare's tragic, comical, historical, and romance plays mirror the hybridity of the Greek ideal in the early modern imagination. Published by Bloomsbury Academic, this volume provides a deep look into how classical influences shaped Shakespearean drama.
