Love and Society in Shakespearean Comedy: A Study of Dramatic Form and ContentUniversity of Delaware Press, 1985 - 203 pagina's This book is about three of Shakespeare's comedies, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, and Twelfth Night. The author discusses them as expressions of a single theory of comedy -- that is, that every element of these plays contributes to an anti-romantic interpretation -- and he interprets them only in light of this anti-romantic theory. |
