Shakespeare's Imagery and What it Tells Us by Caroline F E Spurgeon
Caroline Spurgeon's pioneer study of the imagery of Shakespeare's plays shows how much light can be thrown on Shakespeare's own mind and thought and on the themes and characters of the plays by a detailed examination of his imagery. At the same time she contrasts Shakespeare with other dramatists of his time, including Marlowe, Bacon, Ben Jonson and Dekker.
'Something quite new in criticism, illuminating the operations of Shakespeare's mind and the principles of his art as they have never been illuminated beforeNo student of Shakespeare or of the workings of imagination can afford to miss this entrancing book.' Edwin Muir, The Scotsman
