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

This centenary edition features a new Introduction by Robert Shaughnessy that places Bradley's work in the critical, intellectual and cultural context of its time. Shaughnessy summarises the content and argumentative thrust of the book, outlines the critical debates and counter-arguments that have followed in the wake of its publication and, most importantly, prompts readers to engage with Bradley's work itself.
