Description

Shakespeare's world is one of contradictions - good and ill together. Jonathan Bate explores how his themes can help us navigate our own lives, from loss and tragedy to learning and love. Bate draws on his own experiences, as well as those of other writers who turned to Shakespeare in times of need. He asks whether Shakespeare's wisdom can offer insight into any crisis, and what we can learn from his enduring stories about human struggle and resilience. This book is a personal exploration of loss and the power of art to comfort us in dark times.
