Shakespeare's Festive Comedy: A Study of Dramatic Form and Its Relation to Social Custom

Capa
Princeton University Press, 1963 - 265 páginas

" I have been led into an exploration of the way the social form of Elizabethan holidays contributed to the dramatic form of festive comedy. To relate this drama to holiday has proved to be the most effective way to describe its character. And this historical interplay between social and artistic form has an interest of its own: we can see here, with more clarity of outline and detail than is usually possible, how art develops underlying configurations in the social life of a culture."--C. L. Barber, in the Introduction
