Recensioner i media
The authors show passionate attention to Shakespeare's language, a sound grasp of the historical and social background, and devoted bibliographical trawling... This is a delightful and useful volume; in every case the authors discuss the critical literature, provide helpful comment, and supply a splendid, though necessarily selective, bibliography.
