Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1992, this title provides nine readings of tragicomedy from Shakespeare's late plays to the Interregnum. This exciting collection is characterized by its rejection of absolutist strategies for reading tragicomedy, and it challenges traditional assumptions about the relationship between politics and genre in the period.
