OXFORD SHAKESPEARE TOPICS General Editors: Peter Holland and
Stanley Wells Oxford Shakespeare Topics provide students and
teachers with short books on important aspects of Shakespeare
criticism and scholarship. Each book is written by an authority in
its field, and combines accessible style with original discussion
of its subject. This book explains that Shakespeare did not have
'small Latin and less Greek' as Ben Jonson claimed. Shakespeare and
Classical Antiquity shows the range, extent and variety of
Shakespeare's responses to classical antiquity. Individual chapters
on Virgil, Ovid, Classical Comedy, Seneca, and Plutarch show how
Shakespeare's understanding of and use of classical authors, and of
the classical past more generally, changed and developed in the
course of his career. An opening chapter shows the kind of
classical learning he acquired through his education, and
subsequent chapters provide stimulating introductions to a range of
classical authors as well as to Shakespeare's responses to them.
Shakespeare and Classical Antiquity shows how Shakespeare's
relationship to classical authors changed in response to
contemporary events and to contemporary authors. Above all, it
shows that Shakespeare's reading in classical literature informed
more or less every aspect of his work.
