About this book

Dr. Tillyard discusses religious dogma, evil, human nature, and youth and age, before tracing their effect in the individual plays, so that his study not only illumines each piece but also its neighbours. He thus succeeds in bringing these apparently disparate works into sharp focus

Reviews

“Dr. Tillyard’s fresh vantage point results in a discussion that is acute and judicious, and always lucidly set forth.” Saturday Review of Literature
