About the Author:
Robert M. Adams was Professor of English (Emeritus) at the University of California at Los Angeles. He was the author of many books, including Ikon: John Milton and the Modern Critics; Strains of Discord; Proteus, His Lies, His Truth: Discussion of Literary Translation; The Land and Literature of England; and Shakespeare―The Four Romances. In addition to the Norton Critical Edition of Utopia (he was translator and editor of the First and Second Editions), Professor Adams was editor of five other Norton Critical Editions, including The Prince by Machiavelli, Candide by Voltaire, and The Praise of Folly and Other Writings by Erasmus, the texts of which he also translated. He was a founding editor of The Norton Anthology of English Literature.
From Library Journal:
Aside from The Tempest , Shakespeare's final plays have been considered "problem plays," garnering little affection from either critics or the general public. Adams attempts to "explain" Shakespeare's last four solely authored plays (which include Pericles, Cymbeline, and The Winter's Tale ) by placing them in the medieval romance tradition rather than the ancient genres of comedy or tragedy. He discusses each play in separate chapters and frames the basic discussions with introductory and concluding essays. Adams assumes thorough familiarity with the plays, thus discouraging the casual reader; and the experienced scholar may be equally disappointed, for while Adams's essays are sensible and practical, they add little to the already established body of literature. A larger academic library may find this volume useful; public libraries won't.
