Shakespeare wrote tragedies from the beginning of his career. One of his earliest plays was the Roman tragedy Titus Andronicus, which he followed a few years later with Romeo and Juliet. However, his most admired tragedies were written in a seven-year period between 1601 and 1608. These include his four major tragedies Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth, along with Antony and Cleopatra and the lesser-known Timon of Athens and Troilus and Cressida. The four primely famous Shakespeare tragedies King Lear, Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth are dealt in the book Critical Reference to Prime Shakespearean Tragedies. This book in two volumes handles each tragedy in extensive detail by explaining its literary attributes and universal relevance to human life across the timeline of centuries. The book starts with a detailed introduction of William Shakespeare himself as an actor and playwright and follows to the general substance and construction of his tragedies in two exclusive chapters. Then it critically introduces each of four prime tragedies viz. King Lear, Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth in succession and closes with the chapter on general critical notes on William Shakespeare’s works. The book itself serves as a prime reference guide to students, teachers, and all fans of William Shakespeare.
