Book Overview
What makes Shakespeare's plays so enduringly powerful and affecting? In this provocative study, John Lawlor argues that it is Shakespeare's ability to convey a profound sense of tragedy that sets him apart. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from ancient Greek philosophy to modern psychology, Lawlor explores the ways in which Shakespeare's characters confront the tragic dimension of human existence. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of literature and philosophy.
