Books by Ruth Nevo

Shakespeare¿s last plays, the tragicomic Romances, are notoriously strange plays, riddled with fabulous events and incredible coincidences, magic and dream. First published in 1987, this book offers a reading of the plays which invokes the findings and methods of post-psychoanalytic semiotics.

In this study of Shakespeare's ten early comedies, from The Comedy of Errors to Twelfth Night , the concept of a dynamic of comic form is developed.
