The startling central idea behind this study is that the rediscovery of Aristotle's Poetics in the sixteenth century had a profound impact on almost every aspect of Shakespeare's late plays. Re-examining the plays, Dewar-Watson shows how the generic complexity of Shakespeare's late plays is informed by contemporary debates about tragicomedy.
