‘Enlightening, moving’ SIR IAN MCKELLEN From the acclaimed and
bestselling biographer Jonathan Bate, a luminous new exploration of
Shakespeare and how his themes can untangle comedy and tragedy,
learning and loving in our modern lives. ‘The web of our life is
of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.’ How does one survive
the death of a loved one, the mess of war, the experience of being
schooled, of falling in love, of growing old, of losing your mind?
Shakespeare’s world is never too far different from our own
‘permeated with the same tragedies, the same existential
questions and domestic worries. In this extraordinary book,
Jonathan Bate brings then and now together. He investigates moments
of his own life – losses and challenges – and asks whether, if
you persevere with Shakespeare, he can offer a word of wisdom or a
human insight for any time or any crisis. Along the way we meet
actors such as Judi Dench and Simon Callow, and writers such as Dr
Johnson, John Keats, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, who turned to
Shakespeare in their own dark times. This is a personal story about
loss, the black dog of depression, unexpected journeys and the very
human things that echo through time, resonating with us all at one
point or another.
