Nice for a Paperback,
This review is from: Norton Shakespeare (Paperback)
This is a very nice collection of all of Shakespeare's works. There's information about each play and there are footnotes on the bottom of the pages to help you out. The only problem I had with this book was the paper for the pages is a little too thin and I wish the glossary had more words Shakespeare used in his works. I highly recommend this book.

The last great plays,
By
This review is from: The Norton Shakespeare, Based on the Oxford Edition: Romances and Poems (Paperback)
"The Winter's Tale"," Pericles" "Cymbeline" and " The Tempest" are generally classified as Romances. The Romance is taken to be a mixed form which has both tragic and comic elements. It usually concludes with a 'happy ending' a masque and a dance. But somehow the 'happy ending' is less harmonious than in the comedies. And there is a sense of a more forced complicated resolution.
The great Romances deal with the themes of Appearance and Reality, of Dream and Reality. As in all Shakespeare they are rich in incredibly beautiful poetry which redeems them even when they touch upon the absurd. |
