Hardcover. Zustand: New. The present book is a pioneering work in the interpretation of Shakespeares problem plays It strikes a new line of approach developing the concept of double vision to explain the contradictions and enigmas in all the recognized problem plays of Shakespeare The controversial issues in the three Problem Comedies Hamlet Antony and Cleopatra and Julius Ceasar are resolved by a plausible analysis of their characters and situations In a detailed analysis of each play all those baffling problems which have been attributed to deficiency of creative power or imperfect transmutation or otherwise treated as insoluble mysteries have been shown to be quite intelligible in the light of Shakespeares double vision Each play emerges as a stage in the dramatists progressive illumination of the human conditionThe book is aimed at finally placing each play as a positive artistic creation in the genre as against the half-way-house approaches which attribute their problematic nature to imperfect handling of plot or character Establishing double vision as Shakespeares habitual dramatic mode the book links his artistry with that of Sophocles and Euripides in this form which was already handled by these Greek dramatists pointing out the new dimensions given to it by Shakespeare  295 pp.
