About this product

Product Information

On 23 April 1916, Oxford University Press published a magnificent volume entitled A Book of Homage to Shakespeare, edited by Professor Israel Gollancz. Created to mark the Tercentenary of Shakespeare's death in the very midst of the First World War, it was a substantial folio-sized volume of 557 pages bound in white leather with Shakespeare's coat of arms embossed in gold, with nine leaves of plates, each protected by tissue: with textured pages laid out with a generous and elegant text design, it is a strikingly beautiful material object in its own right, quite apart from its contents, which include contributions by writers from Rudyard Kipling to Rabindranath Tagore, from John Galsworthy to Maurice Maeterlinck. One thousand two hundred and fifty copies were printed, a fifth designed as presentation copies, with the rest put on general sale. Within its pages, sandwiched between an opening poem by Thomas Hardy about Stratford-upon-Avon and the London-based editor's closing paean to the global community-- 'Shakespeare's own kindred, whatsoe'er their speech'--are a hundred and five essays, dialogues and fragments and sixty-one poems, including twenty-six translations, from locations as far apart as India, Ireland, America, Armenia, Burma, South Africa, Russia and Japan. A Book of Homage to Shakespeare is thus a celebration both local and global, and it marks a pivotal moment in literary history--a moment at which Shakespeare was the poet both of empire and of a world emerging into a new, very different global order. Oxford University Press's reissue, 100 years later, of this remarkable volume for the 2016 centenary reflects the style of the original edition and is presented with a new foreword by King's College London's Gordon McMullan, telling the story of the book's inception and creation, focussing on its editor and guiding spirit, Israel Gollancz, and on certain key contributions. His lively account reveals A Book of Homage as a far more complex phenomenon than might be expected, balancing the celebration of empire with elements both of resistance to Shakespeare as the uncontested figurehead for empire and of self-fashioning, implicit and explicit, on the part of its contributors.

    A difficult set to find online in good shape and at the right price with the shipping from UK sellers. So I am very pleased with the purchase. Seller responded quickly to a shipping question, even while away. The items arrived in excellent shape, truly as new condition as described, thanks to the careful packing. Very pleased, HIGHLY RECOMMEND this seller in Birmingham, UK, even to American buyers.

    This purchase arrived exactly as described, as new, unread condition. Excellent price agreed. Posted for next day delivery, arrived on time. Superbly packaged (as always) in bubble wrap in middle of sturdy box filled with polystyrene. Have bought, with confidence, from this seller many times before and will continue to do so in the future. Gives me great pleasure to be able to thoroughly recommend him to one and all, Kind regards, Tony
