Novelists, poets and playwrights are all represented. So are philosophers, historians, composers, filmmakers and politicians. Shakespearean characters and motifs are shown fuelling the genius of Goethe and Dostoevsky, Aldous Huxley and Emily Dickinson, John Updike and Duke Ellington, Nabokov and Proust. ...

This anthology draws on the vast literature that plays little part in formal Shakespeare criticism and scholarship, but that shows with immediacy and passion the enormous impact Shakespeare has had on our cultural life. Novelists, poets and playwrights are all represented. So are philosophers, historians, composers, filmmakers and politicians. Shakespearean characters and motifs are shown fuelling the genius of Goethe and Dostoevsky, Aldous Huxley and Emily Dickinson, John Updike and Duke Ellington, Nabokov and Proust. Shakespeare the man fires the imagination of Kipling and Joyce, Borges and Anthony Burgess. Herman Melville writes a poem about Falstaff. D.H. Lawrence anatomizes Hamlet. R.K. Narayan describes a Shakespeare lesson in an Indian classroom. John Osborne adapts Coriolanus and Ionescu reworks Macbeth. The choice of critical responses is equally wide-ranging.

A collection of 200 titlepages from the 15th century up to the early 20th century. As an artistic reference work (By this I mean a reference work for painters and illustrators.) it's an excellent book with great examples of decorative titlepage illustrations through several historical periods.
It also holds some interest for art-historians though more so in its breadth of pictures than through its writing, which is somewhat short and superficial. (It is rather useful as a way to find a way into further studies, but on it's own the writing is rather shallow.)
