AB  - Argues that Shakespeare's tragedies are "preoccupied ... with the inscrutability of human life, the indeterminacy of the universe," "the unacknowledge fictions through which human beings attempt ot make their existences feel meaningful, and the unhappy consequences to which these fictuions generally give rise." Suggests that Shakespeare's tragedies "affirm the status of dramatic art as a medium ... through which to explore the truth of human experience in a world that is not fully susceptible to rational analysis." Includes chapters on Titus Andronicus, Hamlet, Troilus and Cressida, Macbeth, King Lear, Antony and Cleopatra, King Lear, and Coriolanus.
