Shylock On The Stage by Toby Lelyveld Bookholtz is a comprehensive analysis of the character of Shylock in William Shakespeare's play, The Merchant of Venice. The book explores the evolution of Shylock's portrayal on stage from the 16th century to the present day. It examines the various interpretations of Shylock by different actors, directors, and playwrights over the centuries, and how these interpretations have been influenced by societal attitudes towards Jews and anti-Semitism. The book also delves into the historical context of the play and the character, as well as the literary techniques used by Shakespeare to create a complex and multi-dimensional character. Shylock On The Stage is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history of theatre and the portrayal of Jews in literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
