On the Monograph “Medieval Georgian Romance The Man in a Panther-Skin and Shakespeare’s Late Plays” by Elguja Khintibidze

Monograph Professor Elguja Khintibidze’s extraordinary studies establish, for the first time, a fascinating connection between English Elizabethan theatre and the great Georgian national 12^th century epic by Shota Rustaveli, The Knight in the Panther Skin. Based on the most rigorous textual analysis, he demonstrates, seemingly incontrovertibly, that remarkable similarities in theme, setting, plot, action and character – way beyond any mere coincidence of archetypes – show the clear influence of the Georgian epic upon both Shakespeare and Beaumont&Fletcher, particularly in Cymbeline, and Philaster and A King No King with the last actually set in Iberia, the classical name for Georgia.
