Omschrijving

The Avon and Shakespeare's Country is a book written by Arthur Granville Bradley and originally published in 1910. The book is a detailed exploration of the River Avon and the surrounding countryside that inspired William Shakespeare's plays. Bradley provides a comprehensive account of the history, geography, and natural beauty of the region, as well as its cultural significance as the birthplace of one of the world's greatest playwrights.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of the Avon and its surroundings. Bradley begins by describing the river itself, its source, and its course through the landscape. He then moves on to discuss the towns and villages along the river, including Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick, and Evesham. Bradley provides a wealth of information about each place, including its history, architecture, and notable landmarks.Throughout the book, Bradley also examines the connections between the Avon and Shakespeare's life and works. He explores the places where Shakespeare lived and worked, including his birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon and the Globe Theatre in London. Bradley also discusses the ways in which the landscape and culture of the Avon Valley influenced Shakespeare's writing, from the forest of Arden in As You Like It to the battlefields of Henry V.Overall, The Avon and Shakespeare's Country is a richly detailed and informative book that will appeal to anyone with an interest in Shakespeare, English history, or the natural beauty of the English countryside.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
