Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shakespeare an Archer Archery terms, phrases, metaphors, and similes are very numerous in the works of Shakespeare, and some of the passages in which they occur cannot be thoroughly understood and appreciated unless the reader has a practical knowledge of the art of shooting in the long bow. "Toxophilus :The School of Shooting," first published in the year 1545, was written by Roger Ascham when he lived in Cambridge. Shakespeare was very familiar with this admirable treatise on the art of shooting in the long bow, wherein I see the origin of many passages in his works. I will first show that Shakespeare was familiar with "Toxophilus," and then I will give evidence of his practical knowledge of archery.
