Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Shakespeare S Workmanship
The following papers were first written as Lectures and so spoken before an audience in the University of Cambridge. Being shy of repeating myself too often in print in the guise of a lecturer, I have turned my second persons plural into third persons singular. But I am sensible that the change will only commend itself by help of the reader's good-will in remembering all the while that these are familiar discourses rather than learned enquiries.
They seek to discover, in some of Shakespeare's plays, just what he was trying to do as a playwright. This has always seemed to me a sensible way of approaching him, and one worth reverting to from time to time. For it is no disparagement to the erudition and scholarship that have so piously been heaped about Shakespeare to say that we shall sometimes find it salutary to disengage our minds from it all, and recollect that the poet was a playwright.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dissects Macbeth, considered one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies. By examining how the play was originally performed, the author argues that to fully appreciate its genius, we must understand the conditions under which it was written. By explaining the play's context and the circumstances of its creation, this book reveals the author's artistry: how he used darkness, exploited contemporary belief in witchcraft, and created characters that, although flawed, provoke sympathy and terror. Ultimately, this book delves into the nature of evil itself, demonstrating the enduring relevance of Macbeth and underscoring its position as a timeless masterpiece of drama.
