Shakespeare. Una vita nel teatro
Verso la fine del Cinquecento un giovanotto di provincia si trasferisce a Londra: non è ricco di famiglia, non ha conoscenze importanti, non ha studiato all'università. Il suo nome è William Shakespeare, e in un arco di tempo straordinariamente breve diventa il drammaturgo più importante di tutti i tempi. Le sue opere attirano colti cittadini londinesi e analfabeti che per la prima volta andavano a teatro. Fa ridere e piangere il pubblico, trasforma la politica in poesia, mescola arditamente beffe volgari e sottigliezze filosofiche. Cattura con uguale profondità gli aspetti più intimi della vita dei sovrani come di quella dei mendicanti, e allo stesso tempo mima senza fatica gli accenti dei goffi villani e si diverte con i racconti delle vecchie comari. Raccogliendo con perizia indizi, tracce e ipotesi, Stephen Greenblatt, oggi il massimo studioso mondiale di teatro elisabettiano, dipinge del Bardo un ritratto colto, ricostruendo ad arte la vita di uno scrittore capace come nessun altro di creare nomi e parole per le nostre passioni di uomini, e di dare corpo e immagine a sentimenti potenti e universali, con versi imperituri che a quattro secoli di distanza ancora non smettono di stupirci, di interrogarci, di rivelarci chi siamo.

Second Chances
Shakespeare and Freud“A lively and provocative book.”—Alexander Leggatt, New York Review of Books“A compellingly readable and intelligent book. . . . Both authors write with impressive energy.”—Rowan Williams, New Statesman“In this scintillating collaboration between our leading Shakespearean and our most trenchant interpreter of Freud, the concept of the second chance keeps gathering momentum and reach. Second Chances is intellectually nimble and emotionally wise.”—Christopher Benfey, author of A Summer of Hummingbirds“A fearless book. Greenblatt and Phillips speak to each other, and to us, with unflinching candor, wisdom, and tenderness about the possibility of renewing or remaking our lives. Second Chances stages a grand reckoning with fate and free will, fantasy and reality, and, above all, with the excitement and the terror of suddenly finding ourselves in a strange story, in a brave new world.”—Merve Emre, Wesleyan University“This co-authored blend of candor and scholarship illuminates the faults and regrets, even the stupidities, of any life— along with the gift of redemption.”—Robert Pinsky, author of Proverbs of Limbo“In the theme of the second chance, Stephen Greenblatt and Adam Phillips have discovered a marvelous entryway to both Shakespeare and Freud. This wonderful book is written clearly, with humanity and gusto.”—Mark Edmundson, University of Virginia“In this endlessly surprising and revelatory book, Stephen Greenblatt and Adam Phillips show that thinking seriously about a ‘second chance’ is what could actually give us a second chance: a second chance at Shakespeare; a second chance at psychoanalysis; a second chance at love; even a second chance at life itself.”—Devorah Baum, author of On Marriage
