Tolstoy on Shakespeare is a critical essay written by the renowned Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. In this book, Tolstoy provides his personal analysis and critique of the works of William Shakespeare, one of the most celebrated playwrights in English literature. Tolstoy’s essay is divided into two parts. In the first part, he discusses his admiration for Shakespeare’s works, particularly his ability to create complex characters and his use of language. However, in the second part, Tolstoy offers a scathing critique of Shakespeare’s plays, arguing that they lack moral purpose and fail to provide any meaningful insight into the human condition. Throughout the book, Tolstoy draws on his own experiences as a writer and his understanding of human nature to provide a unique perspective on Shakespeare’s work. He also explores the cultural and historical context in which Shakespeare wrote, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the social and political issues of the time. Overall, Tolstoy on Shakespeare is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of one of the most influential writers in English literature. It offers a fresh perspective on Shakespeare’s work and invites readers to consider the moral and ethical implications of his plays.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
