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.
