Originally published in 1933, this book argues that Shakespeare's concern was more for plot and contrast than character. Stoll examines many of Shakespeare's plays, predominantly Othello, Macbeth, King Lear, and Hamlet, and compares their method to that of earlier Renaissance and medieval plays as well as more modern compositions.
