Synopsis
2014 Reprint of 1958 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Caroline Spurgeon is known as the first female university professor in London, the second in England. In 1935, Spurgeon wrote this pioneer study on the use of images in William Shakespeare's opus. In it she analyses the different types of images and motifs that he uses in his plays. She also shows that there is a "cluster", or there are several "clusters", of images in each of the major plays, for instance, illness and injury images in "Hamlet", and light and darkness images in "Romeo and Juliet". Remains a classic study to this day.

Review
'Something quite new in criticism, illuminating the operations of Shakespeare's mind and the principles of his art as they have never been illuminated before. No student of Shakespeare or of the workings of imagination can afford to miss this entrancing book.' Edwin Muir, The Scotsman
'A monumental work without a single dull page.' George Rylands, The New Statesman
'The most significant book on Shakespeare published since Bradley's Shakespearean Tragedy.' H. B. Charlton, Manchester Guardian
Book Description
Caroline Spurgeon's pioneering study of the imagery of Shakespeare's plays shows how much light can be thrown on Shakespeare's own mind and thought and on the themes and characters of the plays by a detailed examination of his imagery. At the same time she contrasts Shakespeare with other dramatists of his time, including Marlowe, Bacon, Ben Jonson and Dekker.
