(Andrew) Riemer examines Shakespeare's comedy plays and examines their curious, often teasing treatment of those moral, philosophical, and even religious issues that criticism has consistently isolated as representing Shakespeare's comic themes. Consists of series of chapters, each dealing with a characteristic aspect of the comedies. The focus of the study is an extended examination of "The Winter's Tale". Riemer is an academic at the University of Sydney known for his study of Shakespeare, and also for his popular books describing his migrant experiences (he was born in Hungary).
