Description
The Messiahship of Shakespeare is a book written by Charles Downing and published in 1901. The book explores the idea that William Shakespeare was not only a great playwright, but also a messiah figure sent to Earth to bring about a new era of enlightenment and spiritual awakening. Downing argues that Shakespeare's works are filled with hidden messages and symbolism that reveal his true divine nature. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Shakespeare's life and work. Downing begins by discussing the historical context in which Shakespeare lived and worked, and how his plays were received by audiences of the time. He then delves into the various themes and motifs that run throughout Shakespeare's plays, such as the nature of love, the struggle between good and evil, and the search for truth and meaning in life. Throughout the book, Downing draws on a wide variety of sources to support his claims, including biblical texts, ancient myths and legends, and the works of other writers and philosophers. He also provides detailed analyses of several of Shakespeare's most famous plays, including Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear, showing how they embody the messianic message that he believes Shakespeare was sent to deliver. Overall, The Messiahship of Shakespeare is a thought-provoking and controversial work that challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of one of the greatest writers in the English language. Whether or not one agrees with Downing's thesis, the book is sure to inspire lively debate and discussion among scholars and Shakespeare enthusiasts alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
