Shakespeare - Racine - and Ibsenin their final stages

This book includes the text of four lectures, mainly concerned with the works of Shakespeare, Racine, and Ibsen - three world-class theater writers - in whom the author was particularly interested, as an editor, translator, or producer. However, the book briefly refers to the recent works of three other great theater writers, to highlight some features of similarities and differences between them. In the introduction, a more comprehensive angle was presented. The discussion was not limited to a number of other playwrights, but also to poets and novelists, in addition to a number of painters and musicians.
