Book Description When, at the beginning of his career, in The Comedy of Errors, Shakespeare took to the imitation of Roman comedy, he found himself in the full current of the humanist adventure. His immediate model, Plautus, had for long been a centrally important influence in the transformation of European comedy, and in his use of material from the Greek romances he set an example that Shakespeare and many others were to make the most of, infusing the drama of comic entanglement with the fancifulness and charm of the romantic conventions. In the comedies that followed, Shakespeare carried the development further by exploiting ideas and philosophies, in particular using the radical antitheses of Platonic speculation, to complicate as well as to give meaning to the confusions in the imbroglios and to the aspirations of the courtiers and lovers. In Love's Labour's Lost he drew upon the current interest in Bruno in manipulating the Platonic meanings. In The Two Gentlemen of Verona the Platonism came to him indirectly through his source, Montemayor's Diana. In Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece he was working with other forms and matters that the humanist enthusiasm made popular. And all the while, in the Henry VI trilogy, he was intent upon the native and mediaeval and Christian.The author, who is Professor of English at the University of Michigan and the author of The Art of Shakespeare and Milton and the Italian Cities, sees in these early undertakings the interests that were to lead into the profound conceptions and the elaborate dramatic con- structions of the later works. In the conflicts with native traditions and conventions inherent in the humanist enterprises, he sees Shakespeare developing the emphases that will enable him in the later works to compose these issues in all their variety and complexity into single conceptions and unified structures.
