Opis: Voltaire, Goethe, Schlegel, Coleridge

The title presents a comprehensive critical analysis of the most important Shakespearean critics, editors, actors and directors. This third volume focuses on the influence of major European Enlightenment and romantic writers on the afterlife of Shakespeare. "Great Shakespeareans" offers a systematic account of those figures who have had the greatest influence on the interpretation, understanding and cultural reception of Shakespeare, both nationally and internationally. In this volume, leading scholars assess the contribution of Voltaire, Goethe, Schlegel and Coleridge to the afterlife and reception of Shakespeare and his plays. Each substantial contribution assesses the double impact of Shakespeare on the figure covered and of the figure on the understanding, interpretation and appreciation of Shakespeare. It provides a sketch of their subject's intellectual and professional biography and an account of the wider cultural context, including comparison with other figures or works within the same field.Series Preface - Peter Holland and Adrian Poole; Introduction, Roger Paulin (Cambridge, UK); Voltaire, Michele Willems (Rouen, France); Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Stephen Fennell (Cambridge, UK); Friedrich von Schlegel, Christine Roger (Picardie, France); Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Reginald Foakes (UCLA, USA); Index.
