"The Renaissance evinced a strong interest in self-knowledge, and the theme is a persistent one in the moral and dramatic literature of the age. The ancients' slogan nosce teipsum became a universal watchword of men schooled in the paramount importance of coming to know themselves. Shakespeare's abiding interest in the concept of self-knowledge shows itself in the dramatic patterns of his plays-in images, ideas, themes, and character portrayals. The recurrence of such motifs as the search for the self and the dangers and rewards of finding oneself as well as the prominence of such ideal or nearly ideal characters as Henry V, Duke Vincentio, and Prospero testify to the powerful influence humanistic nations of self-knowledge exerted on Shakespeare as a writer and thinker. But his was a changing and developing art in a restless and dynamic age. Professor Soellner suggests that as much as Shakespeare's artistic development, which also affects his patterns of self-knowledge, is part of his natural growth into a mature and incomparable dramatist, it is yet analogous to the stylistic and philosophic changes that led from the Renaissance through Mannerism toward the Baroque. Mr. Soellner examines twelve plays in which self-knowledge as the Renaissance understood it figures prominently. Mindful that concepts of self- knowledge are not independent of cultural contexts, and that the definitions in the moral literature of the time were notoriously imprecise and unscientific, he recognizes that the meaning of the term in Shakespeare's time must be acquired as Shakespeare acquired it; that is contextually. Mr. Soellner distinguishes three points in Shakespeare's evolution: an early stage that culminates in the later histories and the romantic comedies, in which the dramatist reflected, sometimes almost schematically, the humanistic patterns of his time; a middle or interim phase that begins with Julius Caesar and includes both Hamlet and the "problem comedies," and in which Shakespeare experiences certain hesitations and entertains some doubts about the patterns accepted uncritically earlier; and the final period of the great tragedies and tragicomic romances, in which a growing awareness of the unpredictability of human nature leads to a dynamic synthesis in which what is the quintessence of humanism is fused with a full realization of the weakness of codification and a profound sympathy for the human condition. In the last of his great plays, the tempests, Mr. Soellner find, Shakespeare composed a brilliant finale in which are worked many of the patterns that he used in hide earlier work. The dream of The Tempest, that man can control himself, limit his power, and even resign it voluntarily, is totally humanistic- and may be utopia. But it is one of the happiest expectations of man and represents an irresistible affirmation of his potential greatness." - Rolf Soellner.

Have you ever wondered why Cordelia has to die? Or how Alonso talks and walks about the isle while his body lies ‘full fathom five’ on the sea floor? Ever wondered why the monument to Shakespeare in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Stratford-upon-Avon names three pagans: Nestor, Socrates, and Virgil – king, philosopher, and poet? Or why Shakespeare is on Olympus, home of the Greek gods? This interdisciplinary study, the first to interpret the plays of Shakespeare in the light of the esoteric religious doctrines of the Corpus Hermeticum, holds answers to these and other puzzling questions.

Since about 1960, when five-act division in Shakespeare's plays was strongly disputed, most critics have focused on individual scenes rather than holistic form. This book argues for Shakespeare's use of five acts, arranged in three cycles to form a 2-1-2 pattern. It also examines the role of multiple plots and centers of consciousness, especially in the festive comedies and romances. Additionally, it traces Shakespeare's gradual mastery of the art of epiphany, compares it to Spenser's complementary focus on transcendent reality, and traces in Macbeth the dark mode of Shakespeare's dramaturgical pattern.

To probe the literary representation of the alienated mind, Lillian Feder examines mad protagonists of literature and the work of writers for whom madness is a vehicle of self-revelation. Ranging from ancient Greek myth and tragedy to contemporary poetry, fiction, and drama, Professor Feder shows how literary interpretations of madness, as well as madness itself, reflect the very cultural assumptions, values, and prohibitions they challenge.
