This book is concerned with those patterns, strategies and systems of organisation that determine the shape of a Shakespeare play and are the expression of the deliberate nature of Shakespeare's art. Considering his plays as human documents, the book makes clear how and why Shakespeare composed as he did and demonstrates why Shakespeare is the consummate literary artist.
