How subject to interpretation is Shakespeare? The valid options his
plays afford can seem infinite; yet in fact they are not. This book
seeks to come fully to terms with Shakespeare's openness to
interpretation while respecting the primacy of his creative
presence. It sees Shakespeare the theatre-poet as making theatre
not only by outlining an imaginary world but by providing
guidelines for its enactment and reception, implying in each of his
plays a distinctive rapport between the playwright, the players,
and the playgoers. These guidelines may be discerned through a
study of the range and limits of the options that a given text
affords. The book studies a variety of plays in this way,
especially Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. By doing so it
seeks to provide an aesthetic for Shakespeare's theatre-poetry, one
that includes the author along with the actors and the audience in
the event that occurs when a play is performed.
