Falstaff: Give Me Life (1) (Shakespeare's Personalities),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From Harold Bloom, one of the greatest Shakespeare scholars of our time comes a timely reminder of the power and possibility of words [and] the last love letter to the shaping spirit of Blooms imagination (front page, The New York Times Book Review) and an intimate, wise, deeply compelling portrait of FalstaffShakespeares greatest enduring and complex comedic characters.Falstaff is both a comic and tragic central protagonist in Shakespeares three Henry plays: Henry IV, Parts One and Two, and Henry V. He is companion to Prince Hal (the future Henry V), who loves him, goads, him, teases him, indulges his vast appetites, and commits all sorts of mischief with himsome innocent, some cruel. Falstaff can be lewd, funny, careless of others, a bad creditor, an unreliable friend, and in the end, devastatingly reckless in his presumption of loyalty from the new King.Awardwinning author and esteemed professor Harold Bloom writes about Falstaff with the deepest compassion and sympathy and also with unerring wisdom. He uses the relationship between Falstaff and Hal to explore the devastation of severed bonds and the heartbreak of betrayal. Just as we encounter one type of Anna Karenina or Jay Gatsby when we are young adults and another when we are middleaged, Bloom writes about his own shifting understanding of Falstaff over the course of his lifetime. Ultimately we come away with a deeper appreciation of this profoundly complex character, and this poignant work (Publishers Weekly, starred review) as a whole becomes an extraordinarily moving argument for literature as a path to and a measure of our humanity.Bloom is mesmerizing in the classroom, wrestling with the often tragic choices Shakespeares characters make. In this first of five books about Shakespearean personalities, Bloom brings erudition and boundless enthusiasm (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) and his exhilarating Falstaff invites us to look at a character as a flawed human who might live in our world.
