The Development of Dramatic Speech

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First published in English 1961, this reissue relates the problems of form and style to the development of dramatic speech in pre-Shakespearean tragedy. The work offers positive standards by which to assess the development of pre-Shakespearean drama and, by tracing certain characteristics in Elizabethan tragedy which were to have a bearing on Shakespearea (TM)s dramatic technique, helps to illuminate the foundations on which Shakespeare built his dramatic oeuvre.
