Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England

By showing us how Shakespeare's contemporaries were likely to "read" the presentation of human nature, which they saw as inherently self-deceiving, this critical inquiry enables us to unravel the complexities of Shakespeare's characterizations in a manner that will be invaluable to Shakespeare specialists, critical theorists, students, performers, and anyone who seeks an enhanced understanding of Shakespeare's tragedies and their characters.
