Shakespearean Structures
BRAND NEW FIRST EDITION First Printing dust jacket hardcover, clean text, solid binding, NO remainders NOT ex-library slight shelfwear / storage-wear; WE SHIP FAST. Carefully packed and quickly sent. 201601603 Here Ralph Berry explores Shakespearean form and structure. In eight essays, ranging from early to late Shakespeare, the author examines a variety of strategies. Hamlet is approached through the symbolic geography of six nations, above all Denmark and England. Othello is seen as a pattern of relationships, and Macbeth in terms of its sexual underplot. Measure for Measure has a dual location system, the overworld and underworld, and these strata are contained in the play's language. A final essay explores the role of women in the early plays, and views them as expressing a critique of the central transactions. We recommend selecting Priority Mail wherever available. (No shipping to Mexico, Brazil or Italy.)
