Publisher Synopsis
"Auden's lectures on Shakespeare are a marvelous blend of steady, patient intelligence and stunning insight-spirited, free-thinking, resourceful, unintimidated, liberated from the air of treacly piety, and very, very intelligent."-Stephen Greenblatt "A remarkable achievement."-Frank Kermode, London Review of Books "The finest [book] by any English poet on the subject since (and I am not forgetting Coleridge) Dr. Johnson."-Lachlan MacKinnon, Daily Telegraph "In every way, Kirsch has produced a model of useful scholarship. . . . To know Auden's work well is to acquire a liberal education. These lectures on Shakespeare are a good place to start."-Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World "For anyone who has ever resolved in vain to sit down and read right through Shakespeare, this at last is the volume to help fulfil that resolution. . . . [M]asterly."-Christopher Murray, Irish Times Read more...
