本の要約

Shakespeare is indeed, as he has recently been acclaimed, the Man of the Millennium. Everywhere in the world people crowd to see his plays, and everywhere in the world they enjoy what they see - even if they hardly understand a word. The dramatist speaks from his heart to their hearts, as the Japanese say, "Ishin denshin." Nor are they content to see his plays, but they must needs visit the places associated with him, in the Shakespeare Country, in and around the town of Stratford-upon Avon, which is situated just to the North of the River Avon and in the neighbourhood of the Forest of Arden.
Shakespeare himself is called "Swan of Avon", because of the songs swans are supposed to sing before they die. In spite of the greatness of his plays, or because of it, he was a countryman, and it is of the dying tradition of "this England" that he sings in all his plays.

著者のプロフィール

Peter Milward was born in London on October 12, 1925, and educated at Wimbledon College (a Jesuit high school). He entered the Society of Jesus in 1943, and after various studies he went on to specialize in the Classics and English at Oxford University. He came to Japan in 1954 and after further studies was ordained priest in 1960. From 1962 onwards he has taught English literature at Sophia University in Tokyo. In addition to founding the Renaissance Institute, the Hopkins Society of Japan and the Chesterton Society of Japan, he has published some 400 books, mostly as textbooks for Japanese students, many of them translated into Japanese, but now most of them out of print. Several of his books, especially those on the drama of Shakespeare and the poetry of Hopkins, have been published in England and America. Even in retirement he is still teaching and writing, as he enters his 88th year (or beiju).
