This book is a study of four of Shakespeare's major tragedies -
"Hamlet", "Othello", "King Lear" and "Macbeth". It looks at these
plays in a variety of contexts - both in isolation and in relation
to each other and to the cultural, ideological, social and
political contexts which produced them.
This is an informative and interesting guide to the comedies of
love - The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Taming of the Shrew, Love's
Labour's Lost, A Midsummer Nights Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, As
You Like it and Twelfth Night - which were written in the early
part of Shakespeare's career. As well as supplying dramatic and
critical analysis, this study sets the plays within their wider
social and artistic context. Michael Mangan begins by considering
the social function of laughter, the use of humour in drama for
handling social tensions in Elizabethan and Jacobean society and
the resulting expectations the audience would have had about comedy
in the theatre. In the second section he discusses the individual
plays in the light of recent critical and theoretical research. The
useful reference section at the end gives the reader a short
bibliographic guide to key historical figures relevant to a study
of Shakespeare's comedies and a detailed critical bibliography.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International
Conference on Biomimetic and Biohybrid Systems, Living Machines
2019, held in Nara, Japan, in July 2019. The 26 full and 16 short
papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and
selected from 45 submissions. They deal with research on novel
life-like technologies inspired by the scientific investigation of
biological systems, biomimetics, and research that seeks to
interface biological and artificial systems to create biohybrid
systems.
