Description
Volumes in this series trace the course of Shakespeare criticism, play-by-play, from the earliest items of recorded criticism to the beginnings of the modern period. The focus of the documentary material is from the late 18th century to the first half of the 20th century. Thus the Series makes a major contribution to our understanding of the plays and of the traditions of Shakespearean criticsm as they have developed from century to century. The introduction to each volume constitutes an important chapter of literary history, tracing the entire critical career of each play from the beginnings to the present day.
Reviews / Votes
"...the anthology is an excellent resource for teaching as well as scholarship as it provides further fuel for those discussions of meaning and ideology that the play so readily provokes."- Sarah Annes Brown, The Shakespearean Apocrypha: A Publication of the Shakespeare Yearbook -- The Shakespeare Apocrypha 'The scholarship that has gone into making this volume is most impressive and it should be a standard library reference guide for a long time. David George's introduction is substantial and authoritative, and he gathers together material in impressive sweeps' -- Andrew Hadfield * English *More details
