When Shakespeare gave up tragedy around 1607 and turned to the new
form we call romance or tragicomedy, he created a distinctive
poetic idiom that often bewildered audiences and readers. The plays
of this period, Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, The
Tempest, as well as Shakespeare's part in the collaborations with
John Fletcher (Henry VIII and The Two Noble Kinsmen), exhibit a
challenging verse style - verbally condensed, metrically and
syntactically sophisticated, both conversational and
highly-wrought. In Shakespeare's Late Style, McDonald anatomizes
the components of this late style, illustrating in a series of
topically organized chapters the contribution of such features as
ellipsis, grammatical suspension, and various forms of repetition.
Resisting the sentimentality that frequently attends discussion of
an artist's 'late' period, Shakespeare's Late Style shows how the
poetry of the last plays reveals their creator's ambivalent
attitude towards art, language, men and women, the theatre, and his
own professional career.
