Midsummer night's dream / Shakespeare, William; Hackett, Helen 1977  Book
Shakespeare, William Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication Devon, Northcote House, 1977.
Description viii, 88pBlue spine
Series Writers and their work
Summary/Abstract Chang and transformation are central to the action, themes and language of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' In this lucid study, Helen Hackett shows how the play participates in a widespread 1590's concern with mutability; often, as here, expressed through moon-iamsgery and associated with representations of the ageing Virgin Queen. It is also very much a play about procreative change, set at one of the 'green hinges' of the year.

Shakespearean tragedy / Shakespeare, William; Bradley, A.C. 2013  Book
Shakespeare, William Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New Delhi, Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd., 2013.
Description ix, 444pWhite Spine
Summary/Abstract In this book Bradley approaches the major tragedies of Shakespeare through an extended study of the characters, who are presented as personalities independent of their place in the plays. Though his approach has been questioned since the 1930s, the work is considered a classical masterpiece and is still widely read. The book studies in detail four tragedies of Shakespeare, namely, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth. But much that is said on the main preliminary subjects holds good, within certain limits, of other dramas of Shakespeare. Of course, it will apply to these other works only in part, and to some of them more fully than to others.

Description xiii, 302pBlack spine
Series Cambridge Companions to Literature
Summary/Abstract This revised and updated Companion acquaints the student reader with the forms, contexts, critical and theatrical lives of the ten plays considered to be Shakespeare's tragedies. Thirteen essays, written by leading scholars in Britain and North America, address the ways in which Shakespearean tragedy originated, developed and diversified, as well as how it has fared on stage, as text and in criticism. Topics covered include the literary precursors of Shakespeare's tragedies, cultural backgrounds, sub-genres and receptions of the plays. The book examines the four major tragedies and, in addition, Titus Andronicus, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus and Timon of Athens. Essays from the first edition have been fully revised to reflect the most up-to-date scholarship; the bibliography has been extensively updated; and four new chapters have been added, discussing Shakespearean form, Shakespeare and philosophy, Shakespeare's tragedies in performance, and Shakespeare and religion.
