Nearly four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare permeates our everyday lives: from the words we speak to the teenage heartthrobs we worship to the political rhetoric spewed by the twenty-four-hour news cycle. In the pages of this wickedly clever little book, Esquire columnist Stephen Marche uncovers the hidden influence of Shakespeare in our culture.
Some fascinating tidbits:
- Shakespeare coined more than 1,700 words, including hobnob, glow, lackluster, and dawn.Paul Robeson's 1943 performance as Othello on Broadway was a seminal moment in black history.Tolstoy wrote an entire book about Shakespeare's failures as a writer.In 1936, the Nazi Party tried to claim Shakespeare as a Germanic writer.Without Shakespeare, the book titles Infinite Jest, The Sound and the Fury, and Brave New World wouldn't exist.The name Jessica was first used in The Merchant of Venice.Freud's idea of a healthy sex life came directly from the Bard.
Stephen Marche has cherry-picked the sweetest and most savory historical footnotes from Shakespeare's work and life to create this unique celebration of the greatest bard of all time.
