Description

Hugh Grady examines the application of aesthetic theory to four central Shakespearean plays‚ A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and Timon of Athens. Drawing on a tradition of aesthetic theorists including Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno, the book reveals these plays to be masterpieces of Shakespeare's aesthetic practice.
