A key tool - This work of criticism from the erudite Mr Knight, is a tool invaluable to a student studying Shakespeare. Mr Knight writes lyrically, clearly and in an english that is not arrogant of his esteemed position. The arguements are well crafted and sustained and provide insight into the multilayered textures of the plays. He knows his subject inside out and his viewpoints on Hamlet s soliloquoy s and Kinglear s grotesque humour, are extraordinary without being profuse. I personally find it a work of immense appeal, that i myself studying literature, have benefitted incalculably from. It is amazing how written in 1930 it still attracts an audience today: move aside bloom and Kermode!
