J. Leeds Barroll argues that the figures inhabiting these plays are not simply literary portraits of human psychology, but rather complex, artificially crafted entities shaped by the demands of theatrical performance and Elizabethan dramatic convention. With meticulous analytical precision, the study details the structural and rhetorical mechanisms through which characters such as Hamlet, Macbeth, and Othello achieve their compelling illusion of interiority and moral depth. Written with scholarly authority yet accessible prose, the work challenges readers to reconsider the nature of dramatic personhood and the art of character-making in Renaissance theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956320186587,"sku":"2026200008266-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b20575d7-0beb-4ac2-bf31-78640732f82b.png?v=1783499616","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008266-secondhand-artificial-persons-the-formation-of-character-in-the-tragedies-of-shakespeare","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
