Following the ethos and ambition of the Shakespeare NOW series, and
harnessing the energy, challenge and vigour of the 'minigraph'
form, 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. A blog at
http: //shakespearenowseries.blogspot.com 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.
