Description
The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. The Shakspere Allusion-Book: A Collection of Allusions to Shakspere from 1591-1700, Vol. 1 is an exhaustive collection of allusions to Shakespeare, his plays, poems and his person compiled between 1591 and 1700. Clement Mansfield Ingleby was a notable Shakespeare scholar. In composing The Shakspere Allusion-Book he relied upon volunteers from the Shakespeare Society to comb through libraries and articles. The first volume ends with the year 1649.
The allusions are listed chronologically, beginning with the earliest ones. Each page reproduces the passage, paragraph or section containing the allusion, followed by a brief note putting the allusion in its proper context. Although some of the authors cited by Allusions are well known, the majority will be unknown to most readers. This makes the book a great way to discover new writers.
Shakespeare fans will really enjoy the ways the authors used Shakespeare. The allusions show how Shakespeare's work was being interpreted and in some cases two authors cite the same allusion but interpret the meaning differently. That's what makes the book an excellent resource for Shakespeare scholars. The Shakspere Allusion-Book: A Collection of Allusions to Shakspere from 1591-1700, Vol. 1 is easy to browse and a worthwhile read.
