Alfred Harbage fut un influent érudit shakespearien du milieu du XXe siècle. Il a également écrit des romans policiers sous le pseudonyme de Thomas Kyd. Son travail académique offre des aperçus profonds sur Shakespeare, tandis que son incursion dans la fiction policière révèle une voix littéraire polyvalente. Le parcours singulier d'Harbage à travers le monde universitaire et la fiction de genre invite les lecteurs à apprécier l'étendue de l'expression littéraire.
The Histories and the Non-Dramatic Poetry
This selection of his poetry-sonnets, and songs and verse from plays, some justly familiar, others less known-offers the quintessence of his remarkable art and provides an enticing introduction to his work.
This new edition is based on the quarto, the version closest to the original manuscript. The introduction illminates the plays' origins and practicalities of composition, its reception and influence. Detailed notes pay especial attention to language and staging, and the volume includes King Lear's first derivative, a contemporary ballad, and guides to appreciation of the play and its multiple offshoots.
