This is a provocative exploration of how the self is revealed or
exposed in the experience of reading, viewing and writing about
Shakespeare. Following the ethos and ambition of the "Shakespeare
Now!" series, and harnessing the energy, challenge and vigour of
the 'minigraph' from, "Shakespeare and I" is a provocative appeal
and manifesto for a more personal form of criticism. A number of
the most exciting and authoritative writers on Shakespeare examine
and scrutinise their deepest, most personal and intimate responses
to Shakespeare's plays and poems, to ask themselves if and how
Shakespeare has made them the person they are. Their responses
include autobiographical histories, reflections on their
relationship to their professional, institutional or familial roles
and meditations on the person-making force of religious or
political conviction. There is a blog that enables both
contributors and readers to continue the debate about why
Shakespeare keeps us reading and what that means for our lives
today. The book aims to inspire readers to think and write about
their ever-changing personal relationship with Shakespeare: about
how the poems and plays - and writing about them - can reveal or
transform our sense of ourselves. "Shakespeare Now!" is a series of
short books that engage imaginatively and often provocatively with
the possibilities of Shakespeare's plays. It goes back to the
source - the most living language imaginable - and recaptures the
excitement, audacity and surprise of Shakespeare. It will return
you to the plays with opened eyes.
