The present paper re-examines Shakespearean genre-ness in its historical context. Accordingly, attention has been focused on the two storylines of Western dramatic theory and practice, classical and non-classical, which include various time periods. The main objective is to explain the concept of genre-ness in terms of its historical continuity and causality.
