What makes Shakespeare's late plays so special?

Part I of this engaging study:* provides stimulating close readings of extracts from The Tempest, The Winter's Tale, Cymbeline and Pericles* examines major topics such as openings, endings, familial roles, stage properties, spectacle and song* offers suggestions for further work and summarizes the methods of analysis.Part II supplies essential background material, including:* detailed accounts of Shakespeare's literary and historical contexts* samples from important critical works and performances.With a helpful Further Reading section, this illuminating volume is ideal for anyone who wishes to appreciate and explore Shakespeare's late plays for themselves. |
