This book introduces the students and the general reader to
Shakespeare's tragedies and to the problems of interpreting them.
Traditional questions and answers regarding the texts, as well as
their realization in performance, are examined, and it is shown how
the plays do not offer easy of final solutions to the tragic
dilemmas presented, but engage the reader and spectator in a debate
with more than one possible outcome. Each of the tragedies is
examined separately, with discussions of its provenance, its stage
history and critical history, and of the problems associated with
its categorization as part of the 'tragic' genre. He refers widely
to a representative body of Shakespearian criticism, and provides a
useful bibliography which indicates the best sources for a reader
wishing to pursue individual themes further. The book is carefully
written and should serve as a valuable introduction for anyone
wanting to gain a sense of the richness of the plays and the
diversity of debate and interpretation that has surrounded them.
