A. C. Bradley Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

The book highlights the life and contributions of Andrew Cecil Bradley, an esteemed English literary scholar renowned for his insights on Shakespeare. It details his academic journey, beginning with his studies at Balliol College, Oxford, and his subsequent teaching roles in English and philosophy. Notably, he served as Regius Professor in Glasgow and later as Oxford's Professor of Poetry, where he produced significant works like "Shakespearean Tragedy." His legacy is further underscored by the honorary fellowships and doctorates he received from prestigious institutions.

This centenary edition features a new Introduction by Robert Shaughnessy that places Bradley's work in the critical, intellectual and cultural context of its time. Shaughnessy summarises the content and argumentative thrust of the book, outlines the critical debates and counter-arguments that have followed in the wake of its publication and, most importantly, prompts readers to engage with Bradley's work itself.
