Zukofsky, Louis, 1904-1978.
Bottom : on Shakespeare / Louis Zukofsky and Celia Thaew Zukofsky ; foreword by Bob Perelman. - Complete ed. - Hanover, N.H. : Wantage : Wesleyan University Press ; University Presses Marketing, 2002. - 712 p. ; 26 cm. - The Wesleyan centennial edition of the complete critical writingsof Louis Zukofsky ; v. 3-4 . - Zukofsky, Louis, 1904-1978. 2000 ; Selections. Works. v. 3/4. .
"Written between 1947 and 1960 and first published in 1963, the prose work in the first of these two volumes reflects Louis Zukofsky's ongoing obsession with Shakespeare - whose plays he had first seen performed in Yiddish - and is central to understanding Zukofsky's work. Tracing the themes of knowledge, love and physical vision ("the eyes have it") through both Shakespeare's plays and the poetry, Bottom: On Shakespeare is more than a compendious act of homage by one poet to another. In effect, it lays out Zukofsky's poetics and theory of knowledge on a grand scale, tracing his themes through the whole of Western culture, from the Classical Greeks through William Carlos Williams.". "The second volume of Bottom: On Shakespeare consists of Celia Thaew Zukofsky's spare operatic setting of Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre, a play in which Zukofsky saw Shakespeare rewriting the classic plots and tropes of the Odyssey. The Wesleyan edition features a new foreword by Bob Perelman."--BOOK JACKET.
