Shakespeare’s Poetics
The startling central idea behind this study is that the rediscovery of
Aristotle’s
Poetics
in the sixteenth century ultimately had a profound
impact on almost every aspect of Shakespeare’s late plays, their sources,
subject matter and thematic concerns.
Shakespeare’s Poetics
reveals
the generic complexity of Shakespeare’s late plays to be informed by
contemporary debates about the tonal and structural composition of
tragicomedy. Author Sarah Dewar-Watson re-examines such plays as
The Winter’s Tale, Pericles
and
The Tempest
in light of the important
work of reception which was undertaken in Italy by pioneering theo-
rists such as Giambattista Giraldi Cinthio (1504–73) and Giambattista
Guarini (1538–1612). The author demonstrates ways in which these the-
oretical developments filtered from their intellectual base in Italy to the
playhouses of early modern England via the work of dramatists such
as Jonson and Fletcher. Dewar-Watson argues that the effect of this
widespread revaluation of genre not only extends as far as Shakespeare,
but that he takes a leading role in developing its possibilities on the
English stage. In the course of pursuing this topic, Dewar-Watson also
engages with several areas of current scholarly debate: the nature of
Shakespeare’s authorship; recent interest in and work on Shakespeare’s
later plays; and new critical work on Italian language-learning in
Renaissance England. Finally,
Shakespeare’s Poetics
develops current
critical thinking about the place of Greek literature in Renaissance
England, particularly in relation to Shakespeare.
