Sommario/riassunto: | First published in 1963. <BR><BR>When originally published this book was the first to treat at full length the contribution which music makes to Shakespeare's great tragedies, among them <EM>Hamlet, Othello</EM>, and <EM>King Lear</EM>. Here the playwright's practices are studied in conjunction with those of his contemporaries: Marlowe and Jonson, Marston and Chapman. From these comparative assessments there emerges the method that is peculiar to Shakespeare: the employment of song and instrumental music to a degree hitherto unknown, and their use as an integral part of the dramatic structure. |
