Shame in Shakespeare

This book offers a new and exciting view of Shakespeare's tragedies through a passionate and provocative argument for reclaiming shame.

Zusatztext 'Shame in Shakespeare discovers at the heart of the great tragedies a confrontation with the most complex and disconcerting of human emotions. This ground-breaking study transforms one's understanding of works of which one rarely expects to learn anything new. It does so not only because of the originality of its subject! but also because it owes nothing to modishness and everything to the critical acuity of its author.' - Professor Kiernan Ryan!
