Revised and Expanded Edition of "The Secret of Shakespeare"
Reveals the full scope of Shakespeare's plays as sacred visionary dramas, illuminating the bard's greatest works and the man behind them
- Reveals how, through the use of esoteric symbol and form, Shakespeare's plays mirror the inner drama of the journey of all souls
- Conveys a heightened understanding of the plays through examining the theatrical rendering of their texts
Through his study of such plays as "Hamlet, Othello, MacBeth, " and" King Lear," Lings supplies expert and inspiring guidance to the beautifully wrought words and worlds of William Shakespeare. Lings's particular genius lies in his ability to convey, as perhaps no one else has ever done, the theatrical renderings of these texts, leaving readers with deep and lasting impressions not only of these masterpieces of dramatic artistry, but of the extraordinary man behind them as well.
