The Tragic Works volume of Shakespeare’s Painters offers an engaging way to rediscover Shakespeare’s tragedies through the visual interpretation of literature in painting. It reconfigures and interprets the original works through the relationship between 97 paintings and Shakespeare’s four great tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. By bringing painting and literature together, the author breaks down the boundaries between media and takes a multifaceted approach to Shakespeare.
