Few Elizabethan dramatists took such pains as Shakespeare in the collection of source-material. Frequently the sources were apparently incompatible, but Shakespeare's ability to combine a chronicle play, one or two prose chronicles, two poems and a pastoral romance without any sense of incongruity, was masterly. The plays are examined in approximately chronological order and Shakespeare's developing skill becomes evident.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth Muir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041548913X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415489133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Kenneth Muir","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453311430911,"sku":"9780415489133","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ab32218-603d-49fc-acc8-12e740ea50f8.jpg?v=1777299512","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sources-of-shakespeares-plays-kenneth-muir-9780415489133","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
