Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into Shakespeare's use of music in his later comedies, namely The Taming of the Shrew, The Merry Wives of Windsor, All's Well That Ends Well, Measure for Measure, Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest. The author examines the evolution of Shakespeare's employment of music throughout these plays, demonstrating how the playwright's use of performed music transforms over time. The book also explores the symbolic functions of music within the context of Renaissance cosmology, revealing how Shakespeare draws upon Neo-Platonic concepts to express ideas about cosmic order, harmony, and the nature of humanity. Through detailed analysis of musical episodes, the author uncovers the ways in which Shakespeare harnesses the power of music to enhance characterization, underscore dramatic themes, and create a sense of heightened reality. Ultimately, this book sheds new light on Shakespeare's artistry and provides valuable insights into the significance of music within the broader framework of Renaissance drama. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
