Publisher's Synopsis

Shakespeare And Astrology: From A Student's Point Of View is a book written by William Wilson that explores the relationship between astrology and the works of William Shakespeare. The author approaches the subject from a student's perspective, making it accessible to readers who may not have a background in astrology or literary studies. The book delves into the various astrological references found in Shakespeare's plays and poems, such as the use of zodiac signs, planetary movements, and astrological symbolism. Wilson examines how these references were used to convey deeper meanings and themes in Shakespeare's work, such as fate, destiny, and the human condition.Throughout the book, Wilson also provides historical context and background information on astrology during Shakespeare's time, as well as the influence of astrology on other literary works of the era. He also discusses the debate surrounding the extent of Shakespeare's own belief in astrology and the role it played in his writing.Overall, Shakespeare And Astrology: From A Student's Point Of View offers a unique perspective on the works of Shakespeare, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the astrological references and symbolism found throughout his writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
