conversations.value: What is a description for a book titled Lectures on Shakespeare about England, United, States with the genre: Literature & Fiction, History & Criticism?

conversations.value: After transplanting himself from England to the United States in 1939, W.H. the author immediately became a kind of academic knight-errant, teaching at five different schools in as many years. But in 1946, the author gave a course on Shakespeare at Manhattan's New School, and luckily, several of the students attending took maniacally assiduous notes. Now Arthur Kirsch has collated the whole batch--and, one assumes, done some major nip-and-tuck work on this textual nightmare. The result is an insightful, eccentric, and perhaps essential slice of Bardolatry, which tells us as much about the author as his subject.
