AB  - Explores Shakespeare's development of melancholy in Comedy of Errors, Love's Labor's Lost, Much Ado About Nothing, Merchant of Venice, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Pericles, Winter's Tale, and Two Noble Kinsmen." Contends that Shakespeare moves away from "an individual, humoural characterization to a more spectral incarnation that engrains itself in the dramatic fabric of the plays it inhabits."
