"Clear, wide-ranging, and full of variety. This volume provides an accessible, and stimulating introduction to the study of Shakespeare, and is particularly fascinating for its extensive coverage of useful detail, its carefully staged treatment of particular topics, and for its overview of the productive tensions that characterise this vibrant field of study." - Professor John Drakakis, Department of English Studies, University of Stirling, UK.
