Recensioner i media

The contributors are all of high caliber and the essays are adventurous, refreshing and wide-ranging in their appeal. The book will make a substantial contribution to the task of exploring Shakespeare as a critical thinker,　 whose dramas perform conceptual work of the first order.　 This is a break with both the dominance of "theory" and with historicism.
