Description: Shakespeare: Upstart Crow to Sweet Swan by Prof Katherine Duncan-Jones, Katherine Duncan-Jones Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In modern life we are all too familiar with ideas of image and celebrity. This highly original study investigates the early evolution of Shakespeares public image, or reputation, as a man, an actor and a poet, both from his own viewpoint and from that of his contemporaries. Publisher Description An original and provocative study of the evolution of Shakespeares image, building on the success of Duncan-Jones acclaimed biography, Shakespeare: An Ungentle Life. Taking a broadly chronological approach, she investigates Shakespeares changing reputation, as a man, an actor and a poet, both from his own viewpoint and from that of his contemporaries. Many different categories of material are explored, including printed books, manuscripts, literary and non-literary sources. Rather than a biography, the book is an exploration with biographical elements. The change in public opinion in Shakespeares time is quite startling: Henry Chettle attacked him as an upstart Crow in 1592, an attack from which Shakespeare sought to defend himself; and yet by the time of the First Folio in 1623 he had become the Sweet Swan of Avon! and was fast becoming the national treasure he remains today. This engaging and fascinating study brings the politics and fashions of Shakespeares literary and theatrical world vividly to life.
