Sinopsis

For centuries, the world has been captivated by the works of William Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon. His plays and poems have enthralled audiences with their timeless themes, unforgettable characters, and exquisite language. But behind the brilliance of Shakespeare's work lies a lingering mystery: who was the true author?

This book delves into the depths of the Shakespeare authorship debate, exploring the evidence and arguments for and against the traditional view that the works were written by the historical figure William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon. We examine the life and career of Shakespeare, the historical and cultural context of his time, and the textual evidence found in his works.

We also consider the various alternative authorship theories, including those that attribute the works to Christopher Marlowe, Francis Bacon, Edward de Vere, and others. We weigh the evidence, consider the arguments, and ultimately come to our own conclusions about the true identity of the Bard of Avon.

This book is not merely an academic exercise. It raises fundamental questions about the nature of authorship, the role of evidence in historical research, and the relationship between art and biography. By exploring these questions, we can gain a deeper understanding of Shakespeare's work and its enduring significance.

Whether you are a seasoned Shakespeare scholar or a newcomer to the authorship debate, this book will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the evidence and arguments surrounding this enduring mystery. Join us as we explore the hidden corners of Shakespeare's life and work, and uncover the secrets that have been buried for centuries.

In addition to the authorship debate, this book also explores the cultural and historical significance of Shakespeare's work. We examine how Shakespeare's plays and poems have shaped Western literature, theater, and popular culture, and how they continue to resonate with audiences around the world.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Shakespeare, literature, history, or the enduring power of storytelling.

    This text looks at the people, ideas and events between the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Second Reform Act of 1867. From "John Arthur Roebuck and the Crimean War", and "Samuel Smiles and the Gospel of Work" to "Thomas Hughes and the Public Schools" and "Benjanmin Disraeli and the Leap in the Dark", Asa Briggs provides an assessment of Victorian achievements; and in doing so conjures up an enviable picture of the progress and independence of the last century. "For expounding this theme, this interaction of event and personality, Mr. Briggs is abundantly and happily endowed. He is always readable, often amusing, never facetious. He is widely read and widely interested. He has a sound historic judgment, and an unfailing sense for what is significant in the historic sequence and what is merely topical. . . . Above all, he is in sympathy with the age of which he is writing."—Times Literary Supplement

    Immediate, illuminating, and hopeful: this is the key set of talks given by leading Zen Buddhist teacher Larry Ward, PhD, on breaking America’s cycle of racial trauma. As an 11-year-old child, Zen Buddhist teacher Larry Ward was shot at by the police for playing baseball in the wrong spot. As an adult, he experienced the trauma of having his home firebombed by racists. At Plum Village Monastery in France—the home in exile of his teacher, Vietnamese peace activist and Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh—Dr. Ward found a way to heal. In these short reflective essays, he offers his insights on the effects of racial constructs and answers the question: How do we free ourselves from our repeated cycles of anger, denial, bitterness, pain, fear, violence? “I am a drop in the ocean, but I’m also the ocean,” he says. “I’m a drop in America, but I’m also America. Every pain, every confusion, every good and every bad and ugly of America is in me. And as I transform myself and heal and take care of myself, I’m very conscious that I’m healing and transforming and taking care of America. I say this for American cynics, but this is also true globally. It’s for real.” Here, Ward looks at the causes and conditions that have led us to our current state and finds, hidden in the crisis, a profound opportunity to reinvent what it means to be a human being. This is an invitation to transform America’s racial karma.
