A powerful exploration of the human capacity for renewal, as seen through Shakespeare and Freud

A powerful exploration of the human capacity for renewal, as seen through Shakespeare and Freud
 
In this fresh investigation, Stephen Greenblatt and Adam Phillips explore how the second chance has been an essential feature of the literary imagination and a promise so central to our existence that we try to reproduce it again and again. Innumerable stories, from the Homeric epics to the New Testament, and from Oedipus Rex to Hamlet, explore the realization or failure of second chances—outcomes that depend on accident, acts of will, or fate. Such stories let us repeatedly rehearse the experience of loss and recovery: to know the joy that comes with a renewal of love and pleasure and to face the pain that comes with realizing that some damage can never be undone.
 
Through a series of illuminating readings, the authors show how Shakespeare was the supreme virtuoso of the second chance and Freud was its supreme interpreter. Both Shakespeare and Freud believed that we can narrate our life stories as tales of transformation, of momentous shifts, constrained by time and place but often still possible. Ranging from The Comedy of Errors to The Winter’s Tale, and from D. W. Winnicott to Marcel Proust, the authors challenge readers to imagine how, as Phillips writes, “it is the mending that matters.”

Recenzijas

A lively and provocative book.Alexander Leggatt, New York Review of Books

A compellingly readable and intelligent book. . . . Both authors write with impressive energy.Rowan Williams, New Statesman

In this scintillating collaboration between our leading Shakespearean and our most trenchant interpreter of Freud, the concept of the second chance keeps gathering momentum and reach. Second Chances is intellectually nimble and emotionally wise.Christopher Benfey, author of A Summer of Hummingbirds

A fearless book. Greenblatt and Phillips speak to each other, and to us, with unflinching candor, wisdom, and tenderness about the possibility of renewing or remaking our lives. Second Chances stages a grand reckoning with fate and free will, fantasy and reality, and, above all, with the excitement and the terror of suddenly finding ourselves in a strange story, in a brave new world.Merve Emre, Wesleyan University

This co-authored blend of candor and scholarship illuminates the faults and regrets, even the stupidities, of any life along with the gift of redemption.Robert Pinsky, author of Proverbs of Limbo

In the theme of the second chance, Stephen Greenblatt and Adam Phillips have discovered a marvelous entryway to both Shakespeare and Freud. This wonderful book is written clearly, with humanity and gusto.Mark Edmundson, University of Virginia

In this endlessly surprising and revelatory book, Stephen Greenblatt and Adam Phillips show that thinking seriously about a second chance is what could actually give us a second chance: a second chance at Shakespeare; a second chance at psychoanalysis; a second chance at love; even a second chance at life itself.Devorah Baum, author of On Marriage
