Shakespeare upstart crow to sweet swan, 1592-1623

An original and provocative study of the evolution of Shakespeare's image, building on the success of Duncan-Jones' acclaimed biography of Shakespeare. Taking a broadly chronological approach, she investigates Shakespeare's 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. There are biographical elements, but it is not a biography. The change in public opinion in Shakespeare's time is quite startling: Hen.

  • ""She examines Shakespeare's reputation both from his own viewpoint and from that of his contemporaries, and considers hostile responses as well as admiring ones. Arguing that Shakespeare was a powerful actor as well as a poet throughout his career, Katherine Duncan-Jones finds testimony to his already performing as well as writing during his teenage years in Stratford. At the other end of the chronological spectrum, elegies on him between 1616 and 1623 lament his physical departure from the public stage as well as the end of his creative life"--Back cover."@en
