Shakespeare Beyond Science

When Poetry Was the World

About this book

Explore Shakespeare's world through the lens of rhetoric and language, challenging traditional interpretations.

Shakespeare Beyond Science delves into Shakespeare's plays, viewing them not as sources of hidden meanings, but as rhetorical experiences. Sky Gilbert examines Shakespeare within the context of early modern style debates, positioning him alongside figures like Lyly and Hermogenes, who valued language and form over scientific interpretation. This book challenges the notion of Shakespeare as a moral guide, instead presenting him as a master of language, deeply aware of its power to shape our understanding.

Discover how Shakespeare's plays reflect a world where poetry and language held sway, influencing consciousness and perception. This book is for readers interested in:

  • Shakespearean analysis
  • Rhetorical theory
  • History of ideas
Uncover the Bard's genius beyond plot and character—a journey into the heart of language itself.
