Stephen Greenblatt

    7 de noviembre de 1943

    Stephen Greenblatt es una figura clave en la crítica y teoría literaria, ampliamente reconocido como uno de los fundadores del Nuevo Historicismo, un enfoque que él denomina "poética cultural". Su extensa obra profundiza en la literatura y la cultura del Renacimiento, con un enfoque particular en Shakespeare, explorando cómo las creaciones artísticas reflejan y moldean las fuerzas sociales e históricas. La escritura de Greenblatt se caracteriza por su profunda contextualización y su habilidad para entrelazar elementos dispares, creando narrativas ricas y convincentes sobre el pasado. Su erudición anima a los lectores a reconsiderar la intrincada relación entre literatura, poder e historia.

    El espejo de un hombre (Vida, obra y época de William Shakespeare)
    • Son muchos los que consideran a William Shakespeare el mejor escritor de todos los tiempos por su ingenio, la universalidad de sus conflictos, la profundidad de los personajes, la revolución sin precedentes que supuso su obra... Pocos autores han marcado un antes y un después de forma tan incuestionable. Sin embargo, casi nada se sabe con certeza de su vida. Durante siglos se han sucedido especulaciones de todo tipo, sin que ninguna arrojara luz convincente sobre el gran misterio. Stephen Greenblatt, uno de los mayores expertos en Shakespeare, propone aquí una original hipótesis arropándose en la obra misma del dramaturgo y en la de sus coetáneos. De un modo similar a la manera en que Hamlet observaba la efigie de su padre («Una combinación y una forma sin duda / en las que cada dios parece / haber puesto su sello / para mostrar al mundo el espejo de un hombre»), así mismo es este libro mucho más que una biografía. También es un riguroso estudio de los escritos de Shakespeare y, sobre todo, un magnífico retrato de la Inglaterra isabelina.

      The Norton Shakespeare: Histories
    • Tyrant - Shakespeare on Politics

      • 212 páginas
      • 8 horas de lectura

      World-renowned Shakespeare scholar Stephen Greenblatt explores the playwright’s insight into bad (and often mad) rulers. As an aging, tenacious Elizabeth I clung to power, a talented playwright probed the social causes, the psychological roots, and the twisted consequences of tyranny. In exploring the psyche (and psychoses) of the likes of Richard III, Macbeth, Lear, Coriolanus, and the societies they rule over, Stephen Greenblatt illuminates the ways in which William Shakespeare delved into the lust for absolute power and the catastrophic consequences of its execution. Cherished institutions seem fragile, political classes are in disarray, economic misery fuels populist anger, people knowingly accept being lied to, partisan rancor dominates, spectacular indecency rules—these aspects of a society in crisis fascinated Shakespeare and shaped some of his most memorable plays. With uncanny insight, he shone a spotlight on the infantile psychology and unquenchable narcissistic appetites of demagogues—and the cynicism and opportunism of the various enablers and hangers-on who surround them—and imagined how they might be stopped. As Greenblatt shows, Shakespeare’s work, in this as in so many other ways, remains vitally relevant today.
