Reviews

I do hope every teacher and professor can love and illuminate the plays as well as Tanner does in these insightful, elegant, and witty essays. -- Arthur Phillips Barnes and Noble Review 20100423 Prefaces to Shakespeare is a collection of the essays that the Cambridge professor Tony Tanner wrote to accompany the plays for the Everyman's Library series. Tanner, who died in 1998, maintains an easy, book-club tone, at once gentle and generous. Though some essays probe more deeply than others (he's sharpest on the comedies), he's always sensitive to how the themes of change and regeneration recur. And at almost every juncture, he resists the temptation to speculate out of hand. -- Jeremy McCarter New York Times Book Review 20100502
