Comic Transformations in Shakespeare

Zusatztext 'Professor Nevo does three things at once: she analyses Shakespeare's early comedies! she interprets them in the light of a theory of comedy! and she traces Shakespeare's development as a comic dramatist. She not only achieves these aims with superb confidence! but she successfully integrates her different concerns in a chapter-by-chapter discussion of the plays.' English Studies. Zusammenfassung In this study of Shakespeare's ten early comedies, from The Comedy of Errors to Twelfth Night , the concept of a dynamic of comic form is developed.
