At the Bottom of Shakespeare's Ocean - Mentz, Dr Steve (St John’s University, USA)

A study revealing Shakespeare's career-long engagement with the sea and his frequent use of maritime imagery. It sets Shakespeare's sea-poetry against modern literary seascapes, including the vast Pacific of "Moby-Dick", the rocky coast of Charles Olson's "Maximus Poems", and the lyrical waters of the postcolonial "Caribbean".
