In these Shakespearean essays originally published together in 1979, the distinguished literary critic L. C. Knights offers the fruits of his long-term thinking about individual plays (notably, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Lear) and explores the ways in which a deep and imaginative understanding of Shakespeare’s work can relate to and enrich other areas of knowledge - politics, history, social and emotional relationships, the nature of theatrical experience ...Certain critical assumptions are of course implicit here: that great works of art have a continuing life which is renewed thro

Shakespearean Entrances offers a systematic study of entrances and exits on the Shakespearean stage.

The findings provide means by which to recover effects and meanings that the original audience would have appreciated.

" In this fascinating study, Anthony J. Lewis argues that it is the hero himself, rejecting a woman he apprehends as a threat, who is love’s own worst enemy. Drawing upon classical and Renaissance drama, iconography, and a wide range of traditional and feminist criticism, Lewis demonstrates that in Shakespeare the actions and reactions of hero and heroine are contingent upon social setting -- father-son relations, patriarchal restrictions on women, and cultural assumptions about gender-appropriate behavior. This compelling analysis shows how Shakespeare deepened the familiar love stores
