Description

In this volume, leading scholars assess the contribution of Voltaire, Goethe, Schlegel and Coleridge to the reception of Shakespeare and his plays. Each substantial contribution provides a sketch of its subject's intellectual and professional biography and gives an account of the wider cultural context, before going on to assess the double impact of Shakespeare on the writer and of the writer on subsequent interpretations of Shakespeare.
