Shakespeare's Tragedies: A Very Short Introduction - Very Short Introductions
Wells, Stanley (Honorary President of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust)
Shakespeare's tragedies contain an astonishing variety of suffering, from suicides and murders to dismemberments and grief. Stanley Wells considers how the bard's tragic plays drew on the literary and theatrical conventions of his time. Discussing the individual plays, he also explores why tragedy is regarded as a fit subject for entertainment.
