Shakespeares Romantic Comedies: The Development of Their Form and Meaning

Phialas provides commentaries on Shakespeares romantic comedies, treats in detail individual scenes and characters, and makes illuminating comparisons and contrasts of character with character. The chief concern of the book is with the action of each play, the nature and relationship of its parts, and the meaning that the action dramatizes.
