About This Item
Constable & Robinson, London, 2008. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Second-hand copy, no damage to the dust jacket, no damage or annotations to the book. Becoming Shakespeare begins when most biographies end, with the hero's death in 1616. Jack Linton's concern is with Shakespeare's afterlife: how the unlikely transformation from provincial playwright universal Bard came about. Shakespeare created no stir when he died. Within a few years he was almost forgotten. And when London's theatres were shut in 1642 he seemed destined for oblivion. But with the restoration in 1660, the theatres reopened and Shakespeare began his posthumous comeback. – By 1800 he was practically divine, what Jane Austen called "part of an Englishman's constitution." – Front fold over blurb Full number line.
