To Study the Shakespeare’s Criticism in India has been Greatly Influenced by Western Criticism

Abstract

In the sphere of literary criticism and research, Shakespeare represents the spawning ground, the most churned-up sea. William Shakespeare has grown into a full-fledged business in the 400 years since his death. From the academic vantage point, he has received enthusiastic and joyful accolades. He has been a theatrical actor for many years. Within the solitude of the study, the pages of the 'myriad-minded Shakespeare' have been turned, and his words have become the stuff of everlasting controversy. His reputation has been relentlessly written by critics and scholars. The mountain of Shakespeare criticism continues to grow each year thanks to the contributions of authors. According to Louis B. Wright: "The field of Shakespeare criticism today is so vast and has such a ramification of specialised topics, from aesthetic appreciation to Freudian analysis that non specialist literary scholars, much less other folk, find it difficult to sort out the significant from the trivial." In modern times, Shakespeare has transcended borders and continents. He has become humanity's most revered spiritual heir. Time and again, his dominion has grown larger and larger. He had been reformed, polished, and shaped before. We now have him in the right frame of mind. The fact that Shakespeare is still well-received across the world, especially in nations where English is not the official language, is a heartfelt testament to the universal truths portrayed in his works. People all across the globe have fallen head over heels for him. His immediate appeal to our feelings is why we like Shakespeare even before we comprehend him.
