Description

Shakespeare Lied is Sky Gilbert's second rumination on Shakespeare to be published by Guernica Editions. It places 'the bard' at the centre of present day debates over 'political correctness'. James Baldwin said Shakespeare's goal was "to defeat all labels and complicate all battles by insisting on the human riddle".

Gilbert asserts Shakespeare is not just another dead irrelevant white guy, but that he - in the tradition of the Greek rhetorician Gorgias, and the scandalous, pornographic poet Ovid - was a magnificent, and quite intentional, liar. Shakespeare believed the purpose of art was not to teach, but instead to help us transcend traditional notions of truth.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
