For the first time ever, readers are given access to the world’s most renowned educator’s classroom. In Northrop Frye on Shakespeare, Frye offers deep discussions on Shakespeare’s comedies, histories and tragedies. He presents many of the central elements of Shakespearean drama- from the traditions of comedy and tragedy to the historical background of the plays; imagery, patterning and characterization; the use of myth, folklore and the supernatural; and the anthropological use of Shakespeare’s ideas. This guide is as useful to the playgoer as it is to the academic, and it proves literary criticism can be as amusing as it is rewarding. | Northrop Frye on Shakespeare, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
