French reflections in the Shakespearean tragic : three case studies
Hillman, RichardAuthor
In this follow-up study to 'French Origins of English Tragedy', Richard Hillman pursues his exploration of English tragedy in relation to France, this time with a frank concentration on Shakespeare and in a more broadly and intensively intertextual way. Instead of focusing on common paradigms, he sets out to theorise more abstract tragic qualities (such as nostalgia, futility and heroism), but again with reference to specific French texts and contexts. Three manifestations of the 'Shakespearean tragic' are singled out: 'Hamlet', 'Antony and Cleopatra' and 'All's Well That Ends Well'.
