This volume of essays including the two that were earlier published in the prestigious Shakespeare Survey (Cambridge University Press, U.K.) eloquently testifies to Professor V.Y. Kantak’s life-long, scholarly scrutiny into Shakespeare’s latencies. Focussed on the core contours of the art of this outstanding British dramatist such as his characteristic comedy and tragedy, his dramatic design and stage image, his men and women, these essays carry the revaluations of several of his major plays. The study makes for a perceptive, concise and jargon-free reading of the Bard on Avon, packed with discerning applications of western critical canons and Indian poetics.
