In these Shakespearean essays originally published together in
1979, the distinguished literary critic L. C. Knights offers the
fruits of his long-term thinking about individual plays (notably,
Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Lear) and explores the ways in
which a deep and imaginative understanding of Shakespeare's work
can relate to and enrich other areas of knowledge - politics,
history, social and emotional relationships, the nature of
theatrical experience ... Certain critical assumptions are of
course implicit here: that great works of art have a continuing
life which is renewed through perception; that the vitality
generated by such works is for all men and that the critic's
function is to encourage all readers to see as much as they can for
themselves, not to dogmatize or try to impose a particular reading.
L. C. Knights admirably fulfils this function in these essays most
of which have been gathered from the three volumes entitled
Explorations, Further Explorations and Explorations 3.
