The Wheel of FireRoutledge, 2020 M07 14 - 416 páginas Originally published in 1930, this classic of modern Shakespeare criticism proves both enlightening and innovative.

Founding a new and influential school of Shakespearean criticism, Wheel of Fire was Knight's first venture in the field - his writing sparkles with insight and wit, and his analyses are key to contemporary understandings of Shakespeare. |
