AB  - Suggests that with Love's Labour's Lost, Shakespeare "debunk[s] the excesses of humanist eloquence" and offers theatre as a "new resource." Considers falseness and entertainment in Troilus and Cressida. Contends that Cymbeline asserts a continuity between the middle ages and Shakespeare's England. Argues that Othello "is concerned not with the squalid distortions of sins such as jealousy, but rather with the perception of human excellence."
