Christofides1st ed.London ;New York :Continuum,2012.1 online resource (241 p.)Continuum Shakespeare studiesDescription based upon print version of record.1-4725-2333-4 1-4411-7994-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.The Reechy painting and the old church window -- Hamlet and the living dead -- Masochistic damnation in Othello -- Macbeth and the angels of doom -- The promised end of King Lear -- The end.By connecting Shakespeares language to the stunning artwork that depicted the end of the world, this study provides not only provides a new reading of Shakespeare but illustrates how apocalyptic art continues to influence popular culture today.Drawing on extant examples of medieval imagery, Roger Christofides uses poststructuralist and psychoanalytic accounts of how language works to shed new light on our understanding of Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and King Lear. He then links Shakespeares dependence on his audience to appreciate the allusions made to the religious paintings to the present day.Continuum Shakespeare studies.Apocalypse in literatureEnglish dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismEnglish drama (Tragedy)History and criticismApocalypse in literature.English dramaHistory and criticism.English drama (Tragedy)History and criticism.822.3/3Christofides R.
