Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history of literary criticism regarding one of the greatest dramatists of history, William Shakespeare. It delves into the critical battles waged over the centuries about his art, investigating the impact of the Greek literary tradition on Shakespearean criticism, particularly in regards to the famed 'unities'. The author presents a detailed account of how the debate surrounding Shakespeare's apparent lack of adherence to these unities of time, place and action shaped the perception of his work and legacy. The book traces the evolution of critical opinion on Shakespeare from the 17th century onwards, exploring how changing critical sensibilities influenced the way his plays were interpreted and performed. Ultimately, it demonstrates the enduring relevance of Shakespeare's work and the ongoing fascination with his unique approach to dramatic storytelling.
