Description
The book The Concepts of Nature and Art in the Last Plays of Shakespeare is an acute and thoroughgoing analysis of a central theme in Shakespeare studies. Critical formulations about these concepts and their application to Shakespeare have been frequently made.
But their close inspection vis-a- vis the Last Plays and their growth from early Comedies through King Lear to the last phase was perhaps not undertaken so systematically earlier. That way this book is a pioneering work and should, therefore, attract the notice of the connoisseur as well as the expert.
