Overview of Shakespeare\'s Last Plays Book

The present book discusses the limits of drama and shows how in rare cases such as those of Hardy, Brecht and Shakespeare, the dramatic medium is adapted for the expression of epic vision, which is the most comprehensive one and borders on the religious. Dr. Basavaraj Naikar traces how Shakespeare's vision matured from the tragic to the epic in his last plays like Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale and The Tempest, which, therefore share many a feature with the major epics of the world. The standard of interpretation of these plays is very high. Dr. J. P. Brockbank Director, The Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham (UK) Dr. Basavaraj Naikar introduces a new approach to the study of these last romances... Dr. Naikar exposes these plays to a minute and detailed examination, and shows how all epic features, including epic similes, are to be found in these plays. ...On the whole Dr. Naikar with his vast and wide reading has given a book provocative and innovative. Dr. M.V. Rama Sarma Vice Chancellor, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati There is a subjective school, which sees a progress of Shakespeare's vision and Naikar's book, which looks at the plays from the point of view of Indian aesthetics, can be put under this... Shakespeare's Last Plays based on a Ph.D. thesis is a solid book of Shakespeare criticism and it makes a refreshing reading. Dr. H.H. Anniah Gowda Professor & Chairman, Department of English, University of Mysore, Mysore
