Summary of the Book
In Shakespearean Tragedy (1904), A. C. Bradley illuminated the sheer drama that drives four of Shakespeare’s most famous play- Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth. In ten essays Bradley discusses the great characters as if they are people he knows, while his close reading of their speeches is like that of a detective as he investigates their motivations, internal struggles fatal flaws. Here the great Shakespearean critic considers such subjects as Hamlet’s indecision and his true feelings for Ophelia; how lago became the epitome of calculating evil; Lear’s tragic folly and descent into madness; and Macbeth’s Powerful Poetic imagination. Incisive yet conversational, these influential essays brilliantly explore the vast wealth of possibilities and interpretations of Shakespeare’s tragedies.
In his foreword, John Bayley discusses Bradley’s profound understanding of the characters in these plays and changing fashions of Shakespeare criticism. This edition also includes extensive notes and an index.
