Song of the Earth

Jonathan Bate is Professor of English Literature in the University of Oxford and on the Board of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

He was made CBE in the Queen’s 80th birthday honours, for his services to literature and higher education.

"'The most important critical work for decades' Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times 'Bate presents his case with an emotional conviction which is almost impossible to resist' The Times 'Anyone familiar with Bate's The Genius of Shakespeare will know how winningly he marries erudition to liveliness' John Coldstream, Daily Telegraph 'I came away from the book deeply grateful for its impassioned song' Adam Thorpe, Sun.

   The Song of the Earth

   Har inte hunnit läsa ut den, det tar tid för mig att läsa på engelska. Men är den lika bra hela vägen som det jag hittills läst, är den värd betyget! Hade från tidigare studier en annan bok av Jonathan Bate, The Genius of Shakespeare. Glad överraskning att finna samme förf. i ett annat ämnesområde! Han knyter ihop naturvetenskaperna och litteraturvetenskapen suveränt! /Elsabritt Calamnius
