In fact, the idea of making a comparative study of these plays of the greatest dramatists of England and India had been in my mind for quite some time before it came out in the shape of this doctoral dissertation, thanks to certain reverses from which I had to suffer as a result of what Hamlet would call \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e `the whips and scorns of time, \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e ……the law's delay, \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The insolence of office, and the spurns \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e That patient merit of the unworthy takes.' \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e I do not know if, in my excessive enthusiasm, in my un -bounded love for them, I read into these plays more than what they really contain; and if I did, it may be taken as yet another proof of what inspiration as well as consolation they are capable of offering me. But I have no doubt about this fact that it is his last plays that represent the true English Shakespeare. While the 'comic' Shakespeare is ethereal and the 'tragic' Shakespeare terrestrial, the 'tragicomic' Shakespeare is celestial, and traverses a thousand years backwards in time to shake hands with his Hindu compeers, Kalidasa and Bhavabhuti. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e I wish to thank Dr. K.
