**This book provides a detailed study of William Shakespeare's *The Winter's Tale*, based on a close reading and and a stage analysis of the play.** Much maligned and disfigured over the centuries, Shakespeare’s *The Winter’s Tale* has become a treasure-trove for actors, directors and critics alike, attracted by the play’s curious blend of tragedy, comedy and pastoral, in a two-part structure separated by sixteen years—and a bear. From Leontes’ jealous frenzy, represented by some of the most obscure passages in Shakespeare, to Perdita’s fabled speech on art and nature, or Hermione’s statue, the play illustrates the magical power of *poiesis*, while probing into the human condition. Discussing the play’s key issues, notably the relevance of genre and performance, context and reception, time and truth, eloquence, innocence, knowledge, diversion and recreation, this book provides a useful theoretical, historical and critical background to perform close, personal readings of *The Winter’s Tale*, using both stage and text-centered criticism.
