This book ascertains what sources Shakespeare used for the plots of his plays and discusses the use he made of them; and secondly illustrates how his general reading is woven into the texture of his work. Few Elizabethan dramatists took such pains as Shakespeare in the collection of source-material. Frequently the sources were apparently incompatible, but Shakespeare's ability to combine a chronicle play, one or two prose chronicles, two poems and a pastoral romance without any sense of incongruity, was masterly. The plays are examined in approximately chronological order and Shakespeare's developing skill becomes evident.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46929586290839,"sku":"9780415352994","price":24434.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415352994.webp?v=1771600809","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-sources-of-shakespeares-plays-9780415352994","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
