Descrizione del libro

These articles, reprinted from various volumes of Shakespeare Survey, concern three plays; Measure for Measure, Troilus and Cressida and All's Well That Ends Well. Since the early years of this century they have been seen as an interrelated group, with a peculiarly twentieth-century appeal.
