Description
In this work of scholarship and creativity, Meagher argues that Shakespeare has been misunderstood because of a failure to recognize his own directions as a playwright. Through an examination of several of his plays Meagher uncovers Shakespeare as artist, director, and actor.
Reviews
With critical finesse and through balanced explanations ... Meagher demonstrates that what governed Shakespeares aesthetics had nothing to do with the modern notion of unitary principles. * Memoria di Shakespeare *
