This will be a very useful book for students of Shakespeare performance and criticism, as well as the history of that discipline.' - James Loehlin, Associate Professor of English, University of Texas at Austin, USA 'For those who enjoy a scholarly study of Shakespearean performances, for theatre practitioners, and for those who only partake as an audience, this book will give the reader much to agree and disagree with and should be a very rewarding study.' -Speaking English
