Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OMearas work is the perfect supplement to [Ted] Hughess Shakespeare and the Goddess of Complete Being, shedding further illumination into those areas where Hughess penetrating lens finally appears to dim. [This work] shines utterly clear light on the path of understanding we may re-win with regard to myth, forcing the reader to face the incredible starkness of the prospect we faceand the lack of optionsever closing inand also giving the reader the necessary clues to follow, particularly Barfield, Shakespeare and Rudolf Steiner. Richard Ramsbotham, author of Who Wrote Bacon? William Shakespeare, Francis Bacon and James I Very interesting stuff. Particularly where you parallel the break through the tragic dead end to the transcendental-redemptive solution--that I follow from Macbeth through Lear to the last plays--with the Steinerian view of the same progress.

Book Synopsis Remembering Shakespeare by : John O'Meara
Download or read book Remembering Shakespeare written by John O'Meara and published by Guernica Editions. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The longstanding challenge and problem of living through tragedy, as opposed to living beyond it or simply carrying on in spite of it, is highlighted in this extensive and in-depth scholarly study. Shakespeare was able to live through tragedy and consequently could come into those higher evolutionary states of mind and being, until now so little known, that are so impressively represented in his last plays. Remembering Shakespeare, in this year of the 400th anniversary of his death, would seem to call especially for this most far-reaching aspect of his achievement, for so long unrecognized, to be at last duly noted and laid open to view.
Book Synopsis Othello's Sacrifice by : John O'Meara
Download or read book Othello's Sacrifice written by John O'Meara and published by Guernica Editions. This book was released on 1996 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these essays, John O'Meara re-assesses both the tragic limitations and inherent promise of Romantic tradition in the interpretation of Shakespeare. The philosophical theory of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy, is brought forward as consummating that tradition. Building on concepts which Anthroposophy supplies O'Meara proceeds to a fresh reading of Shakespeare's work. A wide range of plays is covered from Richard II to The Tempest, with special focus on Othello and King Lear. The endings of these plays, O'Meara sees as pivotal to Shakespeare's evolution into a final phase prophetic of the Romantic experience to come which Steiner fulfils.

Book Synopsis Shakespeare the Man by : R. W. Desai
Download or read book Shakespeare the Man written by R. W. Desai and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-03-13 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While over the past four hundred years numerous opinions have been voiced as to Shakespeare's identity, these eleven essays widen the scope of the investigation by regarding Shakespeare, his world, and his works in their interaction with one another. Instead of restricting the search for bits and pieces of evidence from his works that seem to match what he may have experienced, these essays focus on the contemporary milieu—political developments, social and theater history, and cultural and religious pressures—as well as the domestic conditions within Shakespeare's family that shaped his personality and are featured in his works. The authors of these essays, employing the tenets of critical theory and practice as well as intuitive and informed insight, endeavor to look behind the masks, thus challenging the reader to adjudicate among the possible, the probable, the likely, and the unlikely. With the exception of the editor’s own piece on Hamlet, Shakespeare the Man: New Decipherings presents previously unpublished essays, inviting the reader to embark upon an intellectual adventure into the fascinating terrain of Shakespeare's mind and art.
Book Synopsis Shakespeare's Muse by : John O'Meara
Download or read book Shakespeare's Muse written by John O'Meara and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent interest in who Shakespeare's Muse may have been prompts one to come forth to dispel the drastically simplistic notions that have been brought forward. In this essay John O'Meara suggests where our concern with Shakespeare should actually lie or what form of Muse we can suppose it was that commanded his development the way it did. Shakespeare was fated for a certain experience from which he could not extricate himself, even if he had wished to. Highlighted is his struggle with Martin Luther's injunction to imagine human depravity to the fullest, with which O'Meara compares the route travelled by Christopher Marlowe. The challenge was laid down to Shakespeare to imagine the worst of human tragedy, which finally focuses for him in the precipitated death of the loved one. But it testifies to the enduring power of Shakespeare's Muse that She has 'borne' this death with him. "I find myself very much in sympathy with your general approach." Stanley Wells, general editor of The Oxford Shakespeare and formerly Director of The Shakespeare Institute, Stratford-Upon-Avon, England.

Book Synopsis Myth, Depravity, Impasse by : John O'Meara

Book excerpt: How can we know the great Goddess again? How worthy are we of that mythical experience? How are we related to that experience in our deepest depravity? And why has the mythical experience grown so opaque to us in our post-Romantic, modern world? These are the main issues arising out of Western literary tradition that John OMeara explores in this book. In the work of Robert Graves, Shakespeare, and Keats, OMeara sees the deepest expression at once of our most far-reaching hopes and our sadly alienated case in respect of any mythical experience we may conceive of having in the immediate future.

Book Synopsis Aguecheek's Beef, Belch's Hiccup, and Other Gastronomic Interjections by : Robert Appelbaum
Download or read book Aguecheek's Beef, Belch's Hiccup, and Other Gastronomic Interjections written by Robert Appelbaum and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We didn’t always eat the way we do today, or think and feel about eating as we now do. But we can trace the roots of our own eating culture back to the culinary world of early modern Europe, which invented cutlery, haute cuisine, the weight-loss diet, and much else besides. Aguecheek’s Beef, Belch’s Hiccup tells the story of how early modern Europeans put food into words and words into food, and created an experience all their own. Named after characters in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, this lively study draws on sources ranging from cookbooks to comic novels, and examines both the highest ideals of culinary culture and its most grotesque, ridiculous and pathetic expressions. Robert Appelbaum paints a vivid picture of a world in which food was many things—from a symbol of prestige and sociability to a cause for religious and economic struggle—but always represented the primacy of materiality in life. Peppered with illustrations and a handful of recipes, Aguecheek’s Beef, Belch’s Hiccup will appeal to anyone interested in early modern literature or the history of food.
