reviewed The Cambridge Companion to Twentieth Century Irish Drama on July 02, 2011 The Cambridge Companion to Twentieth Century Irish Drama
This book is a really fascinating overview of Renaissance philosophy, medicine, and the four humors as well as Shakespeare criticism. It applies these ideas to Shakespeare's four big tragedies--Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth--giving a unique insight into the plays. It really helped my understanding of Othello in particular.
There's about 100 pages of setup before you get to the discussion of the specific plays. But for me the explanation of Renaissance thinking was the most unique and interesting part of this book.
