What makes Shakespeare's late plays so special? Through detailed analyses of key passages, Kate Aughterson shows how these plays portray a world of political intrigue, familial chaos and crisis, which teeters continually into tragedy: a world we can recognise today.

• provides stimulating close readings of extracts from The Tempest, The Winter's Tale, Cymbeline and Pericles

• offers suggestions for further work and summarizes the methods of analysis.

Part II supplies essential background material, including:
