Beschreibung:
Focusing on England, Hungary and on some other European countries, the book explores the latent religious patterns in the appropriation of Shakespeare from the 1769 Stratford Jubilee to the tercentenary of Shakespeare's birth in 1864. It shows how the Shakespeare cult used quasi-religious (verbal and ritual) means of reverence, how it made use of some romantic notions, and how the ensuing quasi-transcendental authority was utilized for political purposes. The book suggests a theoretical framework and a comprehensive anthropological context for the interpretation of literature.
The first book to focus in-depth on the quasi-religious aspects of the Romantic cult of ShakespeareInterdisciplinary - combines literary studies with anthropologyCombines two major literary fields - Shakespeare and Romanticism
