“It does not matter what has been made of us; what matters is what we ourselves make of what has been made of us.”
Quote by Jan Kott
Work
Shakespeare, Our Contemporary
This work of literary criticism by Polish scholar Jan Kott offers a fresh interpretation of Shakespeare's major plays, reading them as powerful commentaries on modern human experience. The study applies contemporary critical perspectives to examine themes of power, tragedy, and human nature as depicted in works such as Hamlet, King Lear, and the history plays. Kott's approach treats Shakespeare not as a historical figure confined to his era but as a writer whose insights into human behavior, political ambition, and psychological complexity continue to resonate with modern readers. The book represents a significant contribution to Shakespearean scholarship, influencing how subsequent generations have approached and understood the Bard's dramatic canon. more
