Andrew Cecil Bradley (26 March 1851 – 2 September 1935) was an English literary scholar, best remembered for his work on Shakespeare
The outcome of his five years as Professor of Poetry at Oxford University were A. C. Bradley's two major works, Shakespearean Tragedy (1904), and Oxford Lectures on Poetry (1909). All his published work was originally delivered in the form of lectures. Bradley's pedagogical manner and his self-confidence made him a real guide for many students to the meaning of Shakespeare. His influence on Shakespearean criticism was so great that the following anonymous poem appeared: I dreamt last night that Shakespeare’s GhostSat for a civil service post.The English paper for that yearHad several questions on King LearWhich Shakespeare answered very badlyBecause he hadn’t read his Bradley. (Hawkes 1986 as cited in Taylor 2001: 46)[4] Though Bradley has sometimes been criticised for writing of Shakespeare's characters as though they were real people, his book is probably the most influential single work of Shakespearean criticism ever published
