Synopsis
Why did Shakespeare write drama? Did he have specific reasons for his choice of this art form? Did he have clearly defined aesthetic aims in what he wanted drama to do--and why? Kiernan opens a new area of debate in showing that Shakespeare rejected many of the theories of his age on poetry, history and art to create an original theory of drama. This lively, readable, but scholarly examination of works from different stages of the dramatist's career explores what Shakespeare wanted his drama to do and why.

From the Back Cover
Brian Gibbons presents the idea of multiplicity as a way of understanding the form and style of Shakespeare's plays: Composed of many different codes, woven together in a unique pattern for each play, rather than variations on the fixed notion of comedy or tragedy.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Why did Shakespeare write drama? Did he have specific reasons for his choice of this art form? Did he have clearly defined aesthetic aims in what he wanted drama to do - and why? Pauline Kiernan opens up a new area of debate for Shakespearean criticism in showing that a radical, complex defence of drama which challenged the Renaissance orthodox view of poetry, history and art can be traced in Shakespeare's plays and poems. This study examines different stages in the canon to show that far from being restricted by the 'limitations' of drama, Shakespeare consciously exploits its capacity to accommodate temporality and change, and its reliance on the physical presence of the actor. This lively, readable book offers an original and scholarly insight into what Shakespeare wanted his drama to do and why. Shakespeare rejected many of the theories of his age on poetry, history and art to create an original theory of drama. This book, first published in 1996, provides a lively, readable but scholarly examination of works from different stages of Shakespeare's career and explores what he wanted his drama to do and why.
