This ground-breaking book reveals the prophetic, revolutionary vision that drives Shakespeare’s tragedies, tracing its unbroken development from its beginnings in the Henry VI plays and Shakespeare’s first tragedy, Titus Andronicus, right through to his last, Coriolanus. The four full-length studies at the heart of the book focus in depth on Shakespeare’s four greatest tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth. Shakespearean Tragedy 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.
Kiernan Ryan 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.
