Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra, and the Nature of Fame is a
characterological study offering new perspectives on Antony and
Cleopatra, the most ambiguous of Shakespeare's plays. It also offers new
insights about the origins and nature of Shakespeare's imperishable
fame. Wide-ranging in its concerns, this monograph promises to make an
essential difference in the way scholars view characterizations, fame,
Shakespeare's reputation, and the eminence of the celebrated figures of
the play.
