Bücher von Terence (Emeritus Professor of English Hawkes

A collection of essays that focuses on the ways in which our society 'processes' Shakespeare and the purposes for which this seems to be done. It examines the work of four influential critics: A C Bradley, Walter Raleigh, T S Eliot and John Dover Wilson.

This guide discusses the nature and development of structuralism and semiotics. It calls for a new critical awareness of the ways in which we communicate and draws attention to their implications for our society.

This is a stunning collection of essays by Terence Hawkes, which engage with, explain, and explore 'presentism', a new notion of literary criticism. This book suggests ways in which its principles may be applied to aspects of Shakespeare's plays.
