The Meaning of Shakespeare (1951) was written by Harold Clarke Goddard. [1] A chapter is devoted to each of thirty-seven plays by William Shakespeare, ranging from three pages for The Comedy of Errors to over 50 for Henry V . Three additional chapters treat larger themes.
After the book was finished and had been accepted for publication, Dr. Goddard died without having named it; the title was provided by the publisher, the University of Chicago Press. Originally published as one volume, it was later split into two volumes.
