Romantic Cult of Shakespeare: Literary Reception in Anthropological Perspective

Peter Davidhazi

4.9/5 (24807 ratings)

Description:Focussing on England, Hungary, and to a lesser extent on several other European countries, Peter Davidhazi explores the latent religious patterns in the reception of Shakespeare from the 1769 Stratford Jubilee to the tercentenary celebrations of 1864. Surveying both the verbal and non-verbal manifestations of the Shakespeare cult, he highlights their analogies with those of traditional religious cults and shows the appropriation of Shakespeare and his texts to be inseparable from quasi-religious acts of reverence such as literary pilgrimages, relic worship, the erection and dedication of monuments, and public celebrations of anniversaries.This cult made use of some important romantic notions (genius, originality, imagination, transcendental analogies of artistic creation), and the ensuing quasi-transcendental authority was to be utilized for political purposes. Analysing this process Peter Davidhazi suggests a theoretical framework and a comprehensive anthropological context for the interpretation of literature.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
