Richard Hillman

The Shakespearean comic and tragicomic

French inflections

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Richard Hillman's latest book on the French connections of early modern English drama shows that Shakespeare regularly inflected the models provided by Italian comedy and tragicomedy by evoking French material, dramatic and non-dramatic. Such inflection especially bears on the tragic overtones that menace or complicate comic resolutions. -- .
