Ghosts in Shakespeare by L.W. Rogers is a literary analysis of the role of ghosts in the plays of William Shakespeare. The book explores the significance of ghosts in Shakespeare's works, including their function as symbols, their impact on the plot, and their relationship to the characters. The author examines the cultural and historical context in which Shakespeare wrote, as well as the literary traditions that influenced his use of ghosts. The book also includes close readings of specific scenes from Shakespeare's plays, such as the appearance of the ghost of Hamlet's father in Hamlet and the ghostly apparitions in Macbeth. Overall, Ghosts in Shakespeare offers a comprehensive study of this fascinating aspect of Shakespeare's work.The philosophy, the poetry, the artistry of the Shakespeare plays has, for generations, been the subject of almost universal praise, and again and again the critics have pronounced the author the greatest genius of the race. It becomes a matter of interest to know what so great a soul thinks upon any subject. When he put ghosts and fairies in the plays did he do it to secure dramatic and artistic effects or did he intend them to be a faithful interpretation of the truths of nature? It is for the purpose of arriving at the real intention of the great dramatist that the following pages have been written. Contents: Hamlet; Macbeth; Tragedy of King Richard III; Julius Caesar; Troilus and Cressida; Winter's Tale; Soothsayers and Prophecies; Astrology; Ceremonial Magic; Joan of Arc; The Fairies; Dreams; Premonitions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
