Moulton is a scholarly examination of Shakespeare's theatrical techniques and innovations written in the late 19th century. This work aims to present Shakespeare not only as a playwright of profound human insight but also as a meticulous craftsman of dramatic art, showcasing specific principles of scientific criticism. Its primary focus explores key plays and the methods Shakespeare utilized within them to enhance dramatic effect. At the start of the text, Moulton outlines his objectives, emphasizing the need to correct common misconceptions about Shakespeare's artistic abilities, particularly in terms of dramatic structure and techniques. He discusses the erroneous impression that Shakespeare's genius rendered him indifferent to dramatic art's technicalities, proposing instead that an understanding of his methods is crucial for appreciating his contributions to theatre. Moulton's analyses consider various plays, touching on storytelling, character development, and the interplay of themes like Nemesis. He sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Shakespeare's craft, aiming to both educate and foster deeper appreciation for the playwright's work among readers and students alike.
