The Soul of Shakespeare

The Soul of Shakespeare

ByRalph Thorpe

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
One of the greatest literary discoveries ever - a triumph for outside the box scholarship. In 400 years no one has noticed Shakespeare's Resurrection Theme: someone is believed to be dead, like Juliet; later they are found alive! Over 90 people ‘die’ and ‘rise from the dead’ in Shakespeare’s plays. Juliet’s ‘death’ results in the double suicide of the lovers. In five plays a woman is buried. In two plays a man’s head is cut off. Yet they all rise from the dead! And not one scholar, actor or director has detected Shakespeare’s Resurrection Theme! With vast erudition English novelist, Ralph Thorpe, brings ‘the big picture’ to Shakespeare. Play by play he turns the key to understanding the inner life of England’s greatest son, and reveals ‘the best kept secret’ in English Literature. Shakespeare fans with open minds and eager eyes will find this ground-breaking insight into his heart and mind fascinating. A revelation! Marvellous illustrations.
