Reveals the influence of the Renaissance scholarpriest Marsilio Ficino on Shakespeare and how the Neoplatonic philosophy of love shaped the inner meaning of his work Shows how Shakespeares works offer a path back to the divine unity of all things Explains the role of love in the ChristianPlatonic concept of the three worldsIn Loves Labours Lost, Shakespeare talks of the true Promethean fire that is lit by the doctrine he reads in womens eyes. What is this doctrine and what is this true Promethean fire to which it gives birth? In Shakespeare and the Ideal of Love, Jill Line shows that Shakespeare shared the perennial philosophy of a long line of teachers, including Hermes Tristmegistus, Pythagoras, Plato, Plotinus, and especially the Florentine scholar and mystic Marsilio Ficino. The answer to these questions, Line claims, lies in Ficinos ChristianPlatonic philosophy of love, from which all Shakespeares plays have their genesis.Love, according to Ficino, is the force that inspired the creation of the worlds of the angelic mind, the soul, and the material, and it is through love that each of these worlds expands into the next. Love is also the vehicle that allows human beings to make the return journey to the source of their being, where they find unity in God. This is the path on which all of Shakespeares lovers embark. Jill Line explains how Shakespeares plays represent more than poetic literary constructs: They are mirrors of the progress of the soul, in many conditions and situations, as it returns to the divine unity of all things.
