Publisher's Synopsis

The People for Whom Shakespeare Wrote is a book written by Charles Dudley Warner that explores the audience and culture of Shakespeare's time. The book delves into the social and political climate of the Elizabethan era, as well as the various classes and types of people who would have attended Shakespeare's plays. Warner examines the ways in which Shakespeare's works reflected and influenced the attitudes and beliefs of his audience, and how they were received and interpreted by different groups of people. The book also explores the role of the theater in Elizabethan society, and the ways in which it served as a mirror of the culture at large. Through a combination of historical research and literary analysis, The People for Whom Shakespeare Wrote provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, and sheds new light on the enduring appeal of his works.1897. Illustrated. American editor and author, Warner writes in the Preface that the first two chapters of these studies of the people for whom Shakespeare wrote were printed in the Atlantic Monthly and the last two are from a manuscript written subsequently to illustrate the relation of English life in the times of Elizabeth to its literature.
