A.C.Bradley's Shakespearean Tragedy, first published in 1904, ranks as one of the greatest works of Shakespearean criticism of all time. In his ten lectures, Bradley has provided a study of the four great tragedies - Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth - which reveals a deep understanding of Shakespearean thought and art. This centenary edition features a new Introduction by Robert Shaughnessy which places Bradley's work in the critical, intellectual and cultural context of its time. Shaughnessy summarises the content and argumentative thrust of the book, outlines the critical debates and counter-arguments that have followed in the wake of its publication and, most importantly, prompts readers to engage with Bradley's work itself.

Bradley offers some of the most eloquent, complete, and balanced criticisms of the tragedies that you will ever read. Unlike so many literary critics of today, Bradley does not disdain to view Shakespeare's characters as actual people, which lends his view of the works a sense of import and meaning which so few critics manage to convey. These lectures are necessary reading for anyone at all who wishes to understand Shakespeare's tragedies better, actors, directors, and academics alike. This has for almost a century been, and continues to be today, one of the most important books on Shakespeare's best and most popular tragedies. For much of the time since around 1930, it has been severely criticised: on the grounds, chiefly, that the author is too much inclined to respect or have sympathy for the heroes (which he is), and that he treats them too much like 'real' people (which he does, and which they aren't). Yet, for all that, Bradley's approach to the heroes as though they were characters we all know has revealed a great deal about what Shakespeare has made those characters, and those who see the characters as complex and psychologically worth exploring identify a more significant aspect of Shakespeare's interest in humans and his art than do many of Bradley's opponents. Moreover, the detail of his examinations of the texts makes it possible to probe much with him, even if one continues to question or quarrel with him on the way (and he is not infrequently demonstrably wrong). Thus this remains a work of criticism which is inspirational and searching even if at times quite wrongheaded; and every serious reader of Shakespeare (including actors and directors) should read this book and own it.

Book 1: Delve into the profound analysis of Shakespearean tragedy with “Shakespearean Tragedy: Lectures on Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth by A. C. Bradley.” A. C. Bradley offers insightful lectures that explore the depths of some of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies. Through detailed examinations of "Hamlet," "Othello," "King Lear," and "Macbeth," Bradley provides readers with a deeper understanding of the tragic elements and psychological complexities within these timeless plays. Book 2: Witness the unraveling of a powerful kingdom in “The Tragedy of King Lear by William Shakespeare.” Shakespeare's play follows the tragic story of King Lear as he descends into madness, exploring themes of family, betrayal, and the consequences of unchecked power. This enduring tragedy continues to captivate audiences with its poignant depiction of human frailty. Book 3: Experience a blend of humor and satire with “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain.” Mark Twain's novel follows the adventures of Hank Morgan, a man from Connecticut who inexplicably finds himself in King Arthur's legendary court. Through humor and social commentary, Twain explores the clash of cultures and the absurdities of anachronism in this imaginative and thought-provoking tale.
