About this title

Synopsis:

Fine cloth copy in a near fine, very slightly edge-nicked and dust-dulled dw, now mylar-sleeved. Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and sharp-cornered. ; 215 pages; Subjects: Shakespeare, William - Studies - Comedies. Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 - Criticism and interpretation. vii, 215 p. ; 23 cm. Companion volume to Shakespeare's Tragic Sequence. Although his experience of producing the plays never lets him lose sight of the fact that they were written to be performed before and audience that expected to be enteratined, the author argues nevertheless that they are more successfully didactic than the comedies of other Elizabetheans. This book, like its predecessor, has a threeford appeal: it is a valuable introduction to the subject, intelligible to the reader who wishes to understand Shakespeare's work better, and invaluable to scholars and teachers.
