内容简介

The Companion acquaints the student reader with the forms, contexts, critical and theatrical lives of ten Shakespearean tragedies. Coverage includes the four major tragedies and, in addition, Titus Andronicus, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus and Timon of Athens. Shakespearean tragedy is a highly complex and demanding theatre genre, but these chapters, written by acknowledged experts, are clear, concise and informative. They are concerned with how Shakespearean tragedy originated, developed and diversified as well as how it has fared on stage, as text and in criticism.
