From Henry Fuselis Macbeth Consulting the Vision of the Armed Head and William Blakes Brutus and the Ghost of Caesar to Eugne Delacroixs Othello and Desdemona and John Millaiss Ophelia, these works will forever influence our reception of the Bard.In Illustrating Shakespeare, Peter Whitfield draws on an extraordinary array of historical evidence to chronicle the way artists have embraced Shakespeare over the years. Whitfield shows how some artists succeeded in capturing the psychological truth of the dramas, while others merely dressed them up to suit the taste of their time. In addition, he reveals how the history of Shakespearean art parallels that of theater production. The artistic tradition spawned by Shakespeares plays is extremely important to his legacy, making this gorgeous volume a must-read for scholars and fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOrders are despatched from our UK warehouse next working day.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68216186634528,"sku":"NEW0712358897","price":74.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81eADpf_ztL.jpg?v=1794284958","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/illustrating-shakespeare-0712358897","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
