This edition first published in 1982. Previous edition published in
1972 by Houghton Mifflin.
Outlining methods and techniques for reading Shakespeare's plays,
Roland Frye explores and develops a comprehensive understanding of
Shakespeare's drama, focussing on the topics which must be kept in
mind: the formative influence of the particular genre chosen for
telling a story, the way in which the story is narrated and
dramatized, the styles used to convey action, character and mood,
and the manner in which Shakespeare has constructed his living
characterizations.
As well as covering textual analysis, the book looks at
Shakespeare's life and career, his theatres and the actors for whom
he wrote and the process of printing and preserving Shakespeare's
plays.
Chapters cover: King Lear in the Renaissance; Providence; Kind;
Fortune; Anarchy and Order; Reason and Will; Show and Substance;
Redemption and Shakespeare's Poetics.
