Shakespeare's Comedies

<p>In this lucid and original study, first published in 1972, Ralph Berry discusses the ten comedies that run from <i>The Comedy of Errors </i>to <i>Twelfth Night</i>. Berrys purpose is to identify the form of each play by relating the governing idea of the play to the action that expresses it. To this end the author employs a variety of standpoints and techniques, and taken together, these chapters present a lively and coherent view of Shakespeares techniques, concerns, and development. This title will be of interests to students of literature and drama. </p>
