Unreading Shakespeare by David P. Gontar Published by New English Review Press

New English Review Press is pleased to announce the publication of our eighteenth book, Unreading Shakespeare by David P. Gontar.

An outstanding Classic in the great tradition of A.C. Bradley, H.C. Goddard, G. Wilson Knight, and Harold Bloom. Together with the groundbreaking Hamlet Made Simple and Other Essays, UNREADING SHAKESPEARE shakes the foundations of Renaissance studies, breathing new life into Othello, Hamlet, Falstaff, Rosalind, and many other characters. Here is the definitive exposition of Shakespeare in the 21st century.

UNREADING SHAKESPEARE

• Teaches us how to find the real wisdom of Shakespeare

• Shows the major philosophical influence on Shakespeare is not Montaigne but Plato

• Introduces Katherine of Aragon as Feminist Hero

• Uncovers the comic dimension of Shakespeare s Tragedies

• Presents the Socratic Apology of Falstaff

• Rescues King Lear from modern oblivion

Surely the best book of writing on Shakespeare in a very long time, UNREADING SHAKESPEARE and its companion, HAMLET MADE SIMPLE, are a revelation at once delightful and amazing.
