Harold Bloom, a professor of humanities at Yale University, wrote this:
''The Meaning of Shakespeare'' is the only book of Dr. Goddard's that is currently in print. Though it was originally published as a single hardback volume in 1951, ''The Meaning of Shakespeare'' is now published in two paperback volumes. Volume 1 contains this line which is characteristic of the book: "The greatest poetry has always depicted the world as a little citadel of nobility threatened by an immense barbarism, a flickering candle surrounded by infinite night."〔The Meaning of Shakespeare (1951), The University of Chicago Press, page 335.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harold Clarke Goddard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
