    Lily Bess Campbell (1883-1967) was a professor of English at UCLA. She won the American Association of University Women's Achievement Award in 1960 and was named Woman of the Year by the Los Angeles Times in 1962. One of the foremost literary scholars of her generation in the United States, she has published primarily on Tudor literature. This study, first published in 1930, examines how the passions were understood in the Renaissance and why they were central to the concerns of philosophy and medical studies at the time. After several chapters on moral philosophy and tragedy in general, Campbell analyses the characters of Hamlet, Othello, Lear and Macbeth in terms of the emotions that drive them: grief, jealousy, anger and fear. She argues that Shakespeare, in his major tragedies, reflects the latest thinking of his time on the passions and their role in shaping the human mind.
