Beyond tragedy structure & experience in Shakespeare's romances / Robert W. Uphaus. - Lexington : The University Press of Kentucky, (c)1981. - 1 online resource.
Includes bibliographies and index.
In this compact, yet comprehensive exploration of Shakespeare's romances, Robert W. Uphaus suggests that the romances bring us to a realm of human and dramatic experience that is ""beyond tragedy."" The inexorable movement of tragedy toward death and a final close is absorbed in romance by a further movement in which death can lead to renewed life, characters can experience a second time of joy and peace, and the audience's conventional expectations about reality and literature are challenged and enlarged.
