    About this ebook

    Neither Venus and Adonis nor the Rape of Lucrece is widely read. Both poems were quite popular during Shakespeare’s time, however, and each gives promise of future development of the playwright’s later skills. Still, as the Riverside Shakespeare says, “Venus and Adonis . . . is an Ovidian poem that does not fully succeed” (1798). One might assert this about the Rape of Lucrece also. Still, the Shakespeare scholar can profit from the poetic approach in both.

    Author

    Donald Richardson

    Donald Richardson OAM, a senior practicing artist and retired long-term educator in art, design and art history, has never been satisfied by historic writing in the field. In this book, he summarises and deconstructs key documents and marshals the clamouring desperation of many for redress and restitution. In the process, he proposes innovations for education and practice (in particular relating to perspective rendering and form). More generally, he proposes that the aesthetic be recognised as a sense of universal human relevance and value.
