Links Between Ireland And Shakespeare (1919)

By D Plunket Barton and Dunbar Plunket Barton

Book Overview

Links Between Ireland And Shakespeare is a book written by Dunbar Plunket Barton and published in 1919. The book explores the connections between Ireland and the works of William Shakespeare. Barton argues that Shakespeare was influenced by Irish history, mythology, and culture, and that many of his plays contain references to Ireland and Irish characters. The book also discusses the influence of Irish writers on Shakespeare, including Edmund Spenser and Richard Stanyhurst. Barton examines the historical context of Shakespeare's plays, particularly the political and religious tensions of Elizabethan England, and shows how these themes are reflected in his portrayals of Ireland and the Irish. The book includes detailed analyses of several of Shakespeare's plays, including Macbeth, Hamlet, and The Tempest, as well as lesser-known works like Pericles and Cymbeline. Overall, Links Between Ireland And Shakespeare is a fascinating exploration of the relationship between two of the most important cultural forces in English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
