Design and Closure in Shakespeare's Major Plays: The Nature of Recapitulation (American University Studies) - Hardcover
Shakespeare must be studied in order to be understood: explication precedes appreciation. This incisive study of Shakespeare's greatest plays concentrates on those strategies of design and closure that serve Shakespeare's intention and meaning. The examination of recapitulation, the quintessential feature of Shakespeare's art, reveals Shakespeare's dramatic thought in all its complexity. The ultimate value of this study is that it enables us to appreciate, not just the individual plays, but the shape and significance of the Shakespeare canon.

About the Author:
The Author: William B. Bache, Professor of English at Purdue University, has studied at Oxford University and has taught at Penn State and the University of Maine. His Ph.D. is from Penn State. In addition to the Book «Measure for Measure as Dialectical Art,» he has published numerous reviews, articles, poems, and short stories in a variety of journals. He has been producing articles on Shakespeare since 1953.
Review:
«Bache redefines the best way to read Shakespeare's plays - creatively, alertly, openmindedly - by illustrating their patterns and systems of structure. His recapitulative approach, a disarmingly direct avenue to the poet's never-ending complexity, is completely accessible to scholars, students, actors and producers whose proper business is to discover and share the plays' depth of meaning. He treats the plays as poetry 'and' theatre. This is a potential milestone in literary criticism for the study and the stage.» (Jerry H. Bledsoe, Executive Director, The Virginia Shakespeare Festival)
