About This Item
Elegantly bound first edition of Henry Green's famous work tracing linkages and similarities between Shakespeare's thought and expression and the thought and expression of a considerable number of Emblemist writers. Green also provides an overview of the literature of emblems (allegorical illustrations with poetry or prose, descended from Medieval bestiaries), which was a popular genre in the 16th and 17th centuries. He discusses emblems and emblemist art that Shakespeare is known to have seen, as well as those that were contemporary with him.
