The four full-length studies at the heart of the book focus in depth on Shakespeare's four greatest tragedies: \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKing Lear \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eShakespearean Tragedy\u003c\/i\u003e engages with each of these titanic masterpieces as a singular, complete work of dramatic art with its own distinctive concerns and critical challenges, but with the same unmistakably Shakespearean tragic vision at its core. Through compelling new readings of the plays, grounded in close analysis of their language and form, Kiernan Ryan shows how Shakespeare dramatizes the tragic realities of his world from the standpoint of the transfigured future that our world still awaits.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKiernan Ryan\u003c\/b\u003e is Emeritus Professor of English Literature at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK, and an Emeritus Fellow of Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge, UK.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e09 September 2021\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe Arden Shakespeare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781472586995\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e312\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515257553036,"sku":"9781472586995","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_b6b462b9-082c-4913-926a-8920b4b408f2.jpg?v=1784690918","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781472586995","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
