Wise Fools in Shakespeare by Robert Hillis Goldsmith is a comprehensive study of the role of the fool in the plays of William Shakespeare. The book explores the various ways in which Shakespeare used the character of the fool to convey important messages and themes in his works. Goldsmith examines the different types of fools that appear in Shakespeare's plays, including the comic fool, the wise fool, and the tragic fool. He also analyzes the relationships between the fool and other characters in the plays, and how these interactions contribute to the overall meaning of the work. Through close readings of Shakespeare's plays, Goldsmith demonstrates how the fool serves as a crucial element in the playwright's exploration of human nature, morality, and social hierarchy. The book is an essential resource for scholars and students of Shakespeare, as well as anyone interested in the role of the fool in literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
