In the second stage, naturalness and satire become the key principles, and Shakespeare becomes his primary model. Originally published in 1963.

Originally published in 1980.

Eighteenth-century Baltimore was a traditional society - aristocratic, personal, and private.

What distinguishes Boyle's book from similar studies is his sensitive judgment as critic and his deep and refined spirituality as a man of God. His approach is uncomplicated.
