Few Elizabethan dramatists took such pains as Shakespeare in the collection of source-material. Frequently the sources were apparently incompatible, but Shakespeare's ability to combine a chronicle play, one or two prose chronicles, two poems and a pastoral romance without any sense of incongruity, was masterly. The plays are examined in approximately chronological order and Shakespeare's developing skill becomes evident.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936169885984,"sku":"NEW041548913X","price":93.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-sources-of-shakespeares-plays-041548913x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
