Book Synopsis
Karl Klein introduces Shakespeare's late play as a complex exploration of a corrupt, moneyed society. He argues that evidence for other authors is inconclusive and shows the play to be neither tragedy, satire nor comedy, but a subtle and complete drama whose main characters contain elements of all three genres.
