This early work by Caroline F. Spurgeon was originally published in 1935 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Shakespeare's Imagery and What it Tells Us' is an in-depth work on the example, function, and use of imagery in the work of the great playwright. Caroline Spurgeon was born on 24 October 1869, in India. She was educated at Cheltenham Ladies College, England and at King's College, London and also University College London. In 1901 she became a member of the staff of Bedford College, London, and wrote two thesis on Chaucer. The first in 1911 which she wrote in Paris, 'Chaucer devant la critique', and the second, written in London in 1929, '500 years of Chaucer criticism and allusion.' In 1935, Spurgeon wrote the pioneer study on the use of images in William Shakespeare's Work, called 'Shakespeare's Imagery, and what it tells us.' In it she analyses the different types of images and motifs he uses in his plays. Spurgeon was also responsible for launching the well regarded English literature curriculum at the University of London.
