The Soul of Shakespeare — Ralph Thorpe

The Soul of Shakespeare describes one of the greatest literary discoveries ever -- a triumph for outside the box scholarship. In 400 years no one has noticed the theme of resurrection that Shakespeare repeats again and again: Someone is believed to be dead, like Juliet, then is later found to be alive. More than 90 people 'die' and 'rise from the dead' in Shakespeare's plays. And they all rise from the dead. Yet not one scholar, actor or director has perceived this Resurrection Theme! 'The big picture' comes to the world of Shakespeare, revealing 'the best kept secret' in English Literature, turning the key play by play to understanding the inner life of England's greatest son. Lovers of English Literature with open minds and eager eyes will find this ground-breaking insight into Shakespeare's heart and mind fascinating. A revelation! The text of this 'student edition' omits only the Appendices, Bibliography and Index.
