- Title
Shakespeare's Clouds and the Image Made by Chance.
- Authors
Lewis, Rhodri
- Abstract
A literary critique is offered that discusses the role of references to clouds in shaping the imagination of the audiences of William Shakespeare's plays. Plays addressed include "Hamlet," "Antony and Cleopatra," and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Shakespeare's references to cloud shapes are connected to the humanist writer Erasmus's book "Colloquies" and to the playwright Philostratus the Athenian's play "Concerning the Life of Apollonius of Tyana."
