Sommario/riassunto |
|
Contrary to the view that Shakespeare was careless with plot details, this book reveals how he actually used circumstance to imply offstage actions, times, and places in terms of the motives and desires of his characters, thus creating coherent dramatic worlds and a sense of the feelings of characters inhabiting them. |
