Book Synopsis The Cambridge Introduction to Shakespeare by : Emma Smith
Download or read book The Cambridge Introduction to Shakespeare written by Emma Smith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-08 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively and innovative introduction to Shakespeare promotes active engagement with the plays, rather than recycling factual information. Covering a range of texts, it is divided into seven subject-based chapters: Character; Performance; Texts; Language; Structure; Sources and History, and it does not assume any prior knowledge. Instead, it develops ways of thinking and provides the reader with resources for independent research through the 'Where next?' sections at the end of each chapter. The book draws on scholarship without being overwhelmed by it, and unlike other introductory guides to Shakespeare it emphasizes that there is space for new and fresh thinking by students and readers, even on the most-studied and familiar plays.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Introduction to Shakespeare's Tragedies by : Janette Dillon
Download or read book The Cambridge Introduction to Shakespeare's Tragedies written by Janette Dillon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-08 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Macbeth clutches an imaginary dagger; Hamlet holds up Yorick's skull; Lear enters with Cordelia in his arms. Do these memorable and iconic moments have anything to tell us about the definition of Shakespearean tragedy? Is it in fact helpful to talk about 'Shakespearean tragedy' as a concept, or are there only Shakespearean tragedies? What kind of figure is the tragic hero? Is there always such a figure? What makes some plays more tragic than others? Beginning with a discussion of tragedy before Shakespeare and considering Shakespeare's tragedies chronologically one by one, this 2007 book seeks to investigate such questions in a way that highlights both the distinctiveness and shared concerns of each play within the broad trajectory of Shakespeare's developing exploration of tragic form.
