Beskrivning
First published in 1969.
Critics have in the past described The Winter''s Tale as a work of "haphazard structure". More recent criticism has defended the structure of the play and this work shows that the evidence points to the fact that Shakespeare took infinite pains with the choice and disposition of the materials of The Winter''s Tale.
The scene-by-scene commentary considers The Winter''s Tale in isolation, but prologue, epilogue and appendix place it in the context of related plays, and discuss, among others, the problem of genre as it affects the play.
