Shakespeare as a Dramatist

0/5 ( ratings)

In writing a play, the playwright must take into account the devices and sets available to him for the optimum stage presentation of his work. In Shakespeare's day there were very few mechanical devices, and even fewer sets,available to the playwright. The author examines the Bard's players in the light of the staging problems he faced and how he had to write his plays so that dialogue and inflection would ""set the scene"", express the mood of the play, and convey other meanings to the audience that a playwright of today might accomplish with scenery, lighting, musical accompaniment, mechanical devices, etc. Highly useful for English literature and theatre collections. This title is cited and recommended by Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature.
