A Study Of Shakespeare by Algernon Charles Swinburne
This study presents a fervent, lyrical examination of Shakespeare’s artistic singularity, arguing that his supreme gift lies in the music, cadence and expressive range of his language. It analyzes his rhythmic and metrical mastery, powers of characterization and dramatic construction, the interplay of imagination, humour and tragedy, and the vividness of his imagery, while reflecting on the moral and psychological depth that gives his plays universal and enduring appeal. The tone is admiring and richly descriptive, privileging close readings of style and voice as the keys to Shakespeare’s creative genius.
