In devoting a whole book to Measure for Measure Miss Lascelles has
expressed her conviction that in no other way can the sharp
divisions of opinion which characterise recent criticism of the
play be resolved. She considers that to continue discussing the
large issues involved in the limited space of a single article or
chapter is to continue to fail to take full account of the
difficulties the reader or playgoer finds perplexing. Her study
falls into three main sections. She begins by discussing other
versions of the story in European literature that may have been
known to Shakespeare, and the way in which they may be used to
throw light on his intentions. Next, she undertakes a long and
reflective analysis of the play's successive phases. Finally, at
the conclusion of this essential investigation of the evidence, she
shows how it supports the view that the complexity of Measure for
Measure is the necessary condition of its greatness.
