Sold as a set. From the front flap:"...Modern Shakespeare scholarship to which Granville-Barker contributed so enormously sees Shakespeare in the theatre for which he wrote, and by this means strips away the accumulation of centuries of progressive misconceptions and distortions of his playwright's art. In these Prefaces, Granville-Barker examines the plays in the light of the interpretation Shakespeare designed for them, so far as this can be deduced, to discover the production he would have desired.'Stagecraft' is a key word in Granville-Barker's criticism. To his watchful working-out of the main lines of dramatic construction, the plays yield many of their riddling secrets. The interplay of characters, the quality of the verse, the vagaries of the texts, the possibilities of Elizabethan stage---these are the lines he explores, with a wit and penetrations that makes his work as stimulating as a fine production in the theater."
