He was educated at Cheltenham College , studied at Balliol College, Oxford under the British Idealist philosopher T. H. Green . He was the younger brother of the major figure of British Idealism , philosopher F. H. Bradley . He was Regius Professor Of English Language And Literature, Glasgow at the University Of Glasgow from 1889 and Professor Of Poetry at Oxford from 1901 to 1906; his ''Oxford Lectures on Poetry'' were published in 1909. He published ''Shakespearean Tragedy'' in 1904. It was immediately hailed as a brilliant achievement. 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- although today greatly discredited by many, often said to make anachronistic errors and attempt to apply late 19th century conceptions of morality to early 17th century society. It has been reprinted more than two dozen times and is itself the subject of a scholarly book, Katherine Cooke's ''A. C. Bradley and His Influence in Twentieth-Century Shakespeare Criticism '' (Oxford: Clarendon, 1972). His other works were: ''Poetry for Poetry's Sake'' (1901), ''A Commentary on Tennyson's In Memoriam'' (1901), and ''A Miscellany'' (1929). EXTERNAL LINKS |
