Shakespeare And Montaigne: An Endeavour To Explain The Tendency Of 'Hamlet' From Allusions In Contemporary Works (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161452280)

""Shakespeare and Montaigne: An Endeavour to Explain the Tendency of 'Hamlet' from Allusions in Contemporary Works"" by Jacob Feis is a scholarly work that explores the relationship between William Shakespeare's play ""Hamlet"" and the essays of Michel de Montaigne. Feis argues that Shakespeare was influenced by Montaigne's ideas and philosophy, and that this influence can be seen in the themes and allusions in ""Hamlet"". The book examines the historical and cultural context of both Shakespeare and Montaigne, and provides a detailed analysis of the text of ""Hamlet"" and the essays of Montaigne. Feis also explores the literary and philosophical traditions that influenced both writers, and suggests that their shared interest in the nature of human experience and the human condition is what makes their work so enduring and relevant today. Overall, ""Shakespeare and Montaigne"" is a fascinating and insightful study of two of the greatest writers in the English language, and their enduring legacy in literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
