Shakespeare Lied

More about the book

Focusing on Shakespeare's relevance in contemporary discussions of political correctness, Sky Gilbert challenges the perception of the playwright as merely an outdated figure. Drawing parallels with figures like Gorgias and Ovid, he argues that Shakespeare was a masterful liar whose art aimed to transcend conventional truths rather than impart moral lessons. Gilbert emphasizes the complexity of Shakespeare's work, portraying it as a profound exploration of the human experience that defies simplistic categorization.
