Elliott, G.R.

Dramatic Providence in Macbeth: A Study of Shakespeare's Tragic Theme of Humanity and Grace

Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1958. First edition. Hardcover. First edition. Hardcover. 234 pp. with index. Fine in fine dust jacket, touch of toning to the spine strip. The author maintains that in his plays, Shakespeare, like other great Renaissance authors from Danto to Milton, consistantly made use of Christian concepts and beliefs for dramatic purposes; in light of that fact this work aims to show the total pattern of "Macbeth". The author demonstrates, by means of scene-by-scene anlysis of the Folio text, how the action of the play turns upon the religious distinction bewteen remorse and repentance. Fine / fine.
