Description
Shylock Is Shakespeare by Professor Kenneth Gross is a thought-provoking exploration of one of Shakespeare's most complex characters. The Jewish moneylender in The Merchant of Venice, Shylock, has long fascinated readers with his unsettling eloquence and varied voices of protest, play, rage, and refusal. This book argues that Shylock represents a breakthrough for Shakespeare the playwright, an early realization of the Bard's power to create dramatic voices that speak for hidden, unconscious, even inhuman impulses.
