Comment: Re: SHK 18.0692 Most Significant Academic Books on Shakespeare
Now that Julia Griffin has asked, "I suppose 'academic' means that the
essays of Auden don't count?" I've decided I can protest the use of the
word "academic" in the subject box without feeling everyone in our group
will be annoyed. Oddly, though, I can't think of any non-academic books
about Shakespeare that I value--unless one takes "academic" as a synonym
for scholarly, in which case many books, some good, some bad, have been
written by academics and/or published by academic presses that are not
academic. My own book on Shakespeare, Shakespeare and the Rigidniks,
which I can't keep from plugging, now newly out with the incoherent
parts deleted, is not academic OR scholarly. I think it a good book, but
it isn't really a book about Shakespeare, but a book about delusionary
thinking.
