Recenzii
If Shakespeare had travelled to Venice, he would have experienced the vibrant, bustling, conflicted life of the Ghetto, vividly evoked in Harry Freedman's gallery of memorable characters. This book shows how Shylock's real contemporaries, confined within a narrow space, made their voices heard far and wide.
Harry Freedman has written an attractive account of the history and culture of the Venetian Ghetto. The book is readable, well-researched, and incorporates the figure of Shylock in new ways. As Freedman adeptly shows, the Venetian Ghetto was an intellectual and creative hothouse - from music and poetry to medicine and Kabbalah - which included many extraordinary individuals such as Leon Modena and Sara Copia Sulam. Shylock's Venice demonstrates that the ghetto had a reach far beyond the Venetian Empire.
