Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Shakspere Flora: A Guide to All the Principal Passages in Which Mention Is Made of Trees, Plants, Flowers, and Vegetable Productions, With Comments and Botanical Particulars
That the practised Shaksperean critic will in this volume find anything new, I do not for a moment presume to suppose. Happily there is now a daily growing national interest in Shak spere, as shown particularly by the increase, during the last few years, of Shakspere Societies, and the introduction of Shakspere as one of the chief levers of education in all high-class schools. This encourages me to hope that I am at all events providing a guide to Shakspere's plants which may be useful to beginners, and to these I offer such help as they may find. For the sake also of students, endeavour is made to explain any curious and unusual words occurring in the passages quoted.

To results of an acquaintance with Shakspere are more useful, pleasing, and varied, than such as arise upon familiarity with his references to trees and plants. These references are key-notes to far more than appears upon the surface: - in the following pages it is attempted to show to what they lead; to bring out the poetry of every allusion, where poetry is involved; and to show the purpose and significance of the terms employed.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book gives a unique and charming insight into the ways in which William Shakespeare made use of trees and flowers in his literary works. The author takes a unique look at how the Bard used the natural world to express themes of love, life, and nature itself and how his writing is a testament to his deep love of and intimacy with the natural world. Also discussed at length is Shakespeare's use of plants in a metaphorical and allegorical manner and how many of his most famous passages are not only beautiful lines of poetry but also thought-provoking examinations of the human condition. Full of beautiful reproductions of famous paintings and engravings, this book will appeal not only to those who love Shakespeare but also to those who love nature writing. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
