Title: Shakespeare's play within play
Description: This volume details the "medieval dramatic and narrative imagery which Shakespeare would unavoidably have been familiar with and which came naturally to hand as he set about constructing his new-fashioned plays." The author maintains that although Shakespeare's works were considered cutting edge at the time, Shakespeare incorporated and wove his own experiences and also the sensibilities of what was then contemporary culture into his now famous works.
