Michael Finocchiaro's Reviews > The Wheel of Fire

G. Wilson Knight is one of the better Shakespeare critics in the 20th Century. Building on A.C. Bradley’s infamous lectures on Shakespearean Tragedy, he writes a series of inter textual analysis of the tragedies and romances in this excellent book of literary criticism. Thanks to Knight, I gained a new appreciation for Timon of Athens and Troilus and Cressidus that I would otherwise not have had. His analyses of Hamlet are similarly enlightening. I would rate this as one of the two or three best books of criticism of Shakespeare and plan to read more of his books.
