Beschreibung
In Phenomenal Shakespeare, leading Shakespeare scholar Bruce R. Smith presents an original account for the ways in which Shakespeare's poems and plays continue to resonate with audiences, readers and scholars because of their engagement with the whole body, not just the reading mind. * An original examination of Shakespeare's appeal written by leading Shakespeare scholar Bruce R. Smith * Contains insightful examinations of a single Shakespeare sonnet, Venus and Adonis, and King Lear to model the possibilities of historical phenomenology as a better strategy for critical reading than approaches based on language alone * Pushes beyond traditional treatments of Shakespeare * An ideal handbook of contemporary approaches to Shakespeare and a celebration of Shakespeare's staying power on stage, on film, and on the page
Rezensionen
"I cannot recommend Bruce Smith's book highly enough to any researcher interested in deepening their understanding of historical phenomenology. The first chapter on As You Like It manifests-through an analysis of the modern use of the quotative "like" and three contrasting portraits of Bacon, Descartes and Husserl in their private studies of phenomena-the central goals and underpinnings of this theoretical approach."
"But Smith's pleasure-seeking book, a useful corrective to the worst excesses of historicism is police-like in its own way"
"A welcome introduction to what is proving an exciting set of radically new approaches for making sense of the early modern period [...] what is really groundbreaking about Smith's work here is how it demands that we as scholars re-address what it is that we think we are doing when we read these texts."
--William N. West, Northwestern University
"A timely and unique contribution that urges the reorientation of critical attitudes from the "state the theory, show the theory, restate the theory" approach towards a method of manifesting or showing"
--P.A. Skantze, Roehampton University
