Exquisite Erudition - A Masterpiece.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A Short History of Shakespearean Criticism is a cathedral of a book. I should admit that I am susceptible to the radiance of thoughts about thoughts about Shakespeare's thoughts. I will simply say that I have seldom read a more balanced and less biased study. I only wish it was several volumes long. I believe each chapter sent me into flights of philosophy and pleasure. I hope that anyone who has a taste for lit-crit and a true, deep love of the Bard will read this book. It fell into my hands as if by magic and I recommend it without any reservations. JCSMITHSON.
