Overview
The startling central idea behind this study is that the rediscovery of Aristotle's 'Poetics' in the 16th century ultimately had a profound impact on almost every aspect of Shakespeare's late plays. Re-examining such plays in light of the important reception work undertaken by pioneering Italian theorists, Dewar-Watson shows how the generic complexity of Shakespeare's late plays is informed by contemporary debates about the tonal and structural composition of tragicomedy.
