Shakespearean Tragedy: Lectures on Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth

This book considers the four principal tragedies of Shakespeare from a single point of view. This is a dramatic appreciation of Shakespeare's tragedies that increase our understanding and enjoyment of these works as dramas as well as to learn to apprehend the action and some of the personages of each with a somewhat greater truth and intensity, so that they may assume in our imaginations a shape a little less unlike the shape they wore in the imagination of their creator.
