Shakespearean Tragedy: Lectures on Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth

Nearly half a million copies in print. A.C.Bradley`s Shakespearean Tragedy, first published in 1904, ranks as one of the greatest works of Shakespearean criticism of all time. In his ten lectures A.C.Bradley has provided a study of the four great tragedies – Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth – which reveals a deep understanding of Shakepearean thought and art. John Russell Brown, a distinguished Shakespearean scholar, has written an entirely new introduction for this third edition which considers the enormous contribution of Bradley`s work to twentieth-century Shakespeare criticism.
