Summary
Celebrating him as The Christian Scholar, colleagues and former students of Berkeley (English, Oklahoma State U.) offer 13 essays on how Shakespeare uses the image and concept of blood not only as a vital fluid but also as inheritance, what modern scholars might call genetic heritage. Among the topics are the fool as physician, the art of class delineation, and the work laws and prosperity. c. Book News Inc.
