First published in 1957. This edition re-issues the second edition
of 1965. Recognized as one of the leading books in its field, The
English History Play in the Age of Shakespeare presents the most
comprehensive account available of the English historical drama
from its beginning to the closing of the theatres in 1642 and
relates this development to Renaissance historiography and
Elizabethan political theory.
First published in 1960. Patterns in Shakespearian Tragedy is an
exploration of man's relation to his universe and the way in which
it seeks to postulate a moral order. Shakespeare's development is
treated accordingly as a growth in moral vision. His movement from
play to play is carefully explored, and in the treatment of each
tragedy the emphasis is on the manner in which its central moral
theme shapes the various elements of drama
The work of dramatists such as George Chapman, Thomas Heywood,
Cyril Tourneur, John Webster, Thomas Middleton and John Ford can
profitably be studied as attempts to construct a new moral order in
response to the absence or weakening of the religious sanction. In
this study, first published in 1962, the author examines these
texts in detail, and throws a great deal of light on the plays as
plays. This title will be of interest to students of English
Literature, Drama and Performance.
