The Moral Universe of Shakespeare's Problem Plays (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

What is it that makes Shakespeare's problem plays problematic? First published in 1987, the key to this new synthesis of the plays is the idea of fracture and dissolution in the universe. The author traces the dominant themes that both distinguish and unite them, and provides insights into the sources, background, texture and morality.
