What is William Shakespeare and the Craft of Tragedy about?

Mr. Rosen writes about structure and story in Shakespeare. He is in good company- he stands with Aristotle on the primacy of plot. as he points out in his preface: "This study concentrates on the play's dramatic techniques; more specifically, it investigates how the point of view of an audience is established towards the protagonist." It is refreshing to find Shakespeare discussed not solely as a literary master but as a playwright. Shakespeare and the Craft of Tragedy deals with the dramatic effect of the protagonists in Lear, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, and Coriolanus. We discover what sort of people they are, absorb a wealth of critical comment, and follow the author's thoughtful digressions on the insights of such imaginative writers as Melville, Conrad, Dostoevsky, and Arthur Miller. Without attempting to astonish the reader, the study offers mature and sensitive readings of the plays as dramatic entities. -- publisher description.
