We are so used to calling the plays written by Shakespeare and his
contemporaries 'poetic drama' that we hardly ever stop to think
about the generic meaning of the term. This book is an attempt to
explore Shakespeare's artistic achievement as an intricate blend of
the dramatic and lyrical modes. In a series of minute textual
analyses, it traces the gradual integration of the two from Love's
Labour's Lost through Romeo and Juliet and Richard II to As You
Like It and Hamlet, with a final glance at the Great Tragedies. How
this combination is effected in its details is a question that
might help us to understand better the specificity of Shakespeare's
innovative work for the theatre and the power of its impact.
