Description

Explore the evolution of a literary genius with Shakespeare and the Confines of Art from the Routledge Library Editions. Originally published in 1968, Philip Edwards provides a deep analysis of Shakespeare's comedies, tragedies, and sonnets to explain how his artistic vision developed over time. Edwards examines the attempt to create a perfect fusion of comedy and tragedy. The text presents Shakespeare as a mind acutely aware of the disorder and lack of meaning in the world. Despite these themes, the work remains faithful to the idea that drama can satisfy basic human needs through its imaginable forms. This scholarly volume offers a comprehensive view of Shakespeare's work as a whole, making it a valuable resource for students and readers of classical literature.
