A.C. Bradley on Shakespeare's Tragedies

the long version

"This concise edition and reassessment of Bradley's Shakespearean Tragedy gives ready access to a major work of criticism that deals with matters fundamental to any thoughtful reading of Shakespeare's texts. It continues to be informative and challenging more than a hundred years since first publication. In an introduction aimed at present-day students John Russell Brown argues that Bradley anticipated much in recent performance criticism and was unusually perceptive about the plays' physical action, multiple meanings, and subtextual life."--BOOK JACKET.
