| Summary: | In this book, Erik Bystad draws a portrait of a master of language who liked to beat himself up with vulgarisms and sexual metaphors. But more significantly, Shakespeare throughout his poetry shows a genuine interest in love, in its light and dark sides, and in eroticism and sexuality as a source of humor and comedy as well as seriousness and tragedy. In this presentation, Bystad takes Shakespeare's texts as his starting point, which he is already familiar with through retelling. This means not least the 154 sonnets, which he is the first to have freely translated into the Norwegian Bokmål. He is also interested in riddles linked to this collection of poemsand in a literary historical detective story that can seem both unique and endless. Why, for example, did the book disappear almost without a trace in 1609, the same year it was published?--Page 4, cover. |
