Summary "De Werken van William Shakespeare" by L. A. J. Burgersdijk is a comprehensive study and translation of Shakespeare's works written in the late 19th century. The book aims to explore the life, environment, and influences of the renowned playwright William Shakespeare, making a connection between his biography and the development of his literary oeuvre. Through this exploration, Burgersdijk seeks to enhance readers' understanding of Shakespeare's genius and the context of his creations. At the start of the text, the author introduces Shakespeare’s life, beginning with his birth in Stratford-upon-Avon and providing an overview of his family background and early influences. The introduction emphasizes the scarcity of definitive biographical information about Shakespeare, yet outlines the importance of connecting his life experiences to his writings. Burgersdijk discusses Shakespeare’s formative years in Stratford, the impact of his father’s financial struggles, and his eventual departure to London, all while hinting at the rich tapestry of social and cultural life that shaped Shakespeare’s development as a playwright. Through a detailed examination of historical context and remaining documents, the introduction sets the groundwork for a deeper exploration of Shakespeare's work and legacy.
