An Introduction to Shakespeare's Late Plays | ||
| Literature | ||||
| Joe Nutt | ||||
| Palgrave 2002 168 pages | ||||
| Hardback 0333914627 | ||||
| Published Price £52.50 | Sale Price £33.00 | |||
| In this study of Shakespeare's last four plays - Pericles, The Winter's Tale, Cymbeline and The Tempest - Nutt aims to 'engage imaginatively with the text for what it is: a script from which professional theatrical practitioners create drama'. He presents a detailed analysis of each play under eight headings: estrangement and family disruption; flight and foreigners; new identities; trials and tests; time and tide; suffering and forgiveness; divine magic; and the theme restoring harmony, revived families. | ||||
