Reading Shakespeare's Soliloquies makes a consistently engaging and though-provoking contribution to this conversation ... I particularly appreciated both the assessible writing style and the emphasis on the interplay between text and performance; this is a book that I would gladly lend t the theatre majors who are skeptical that the academic study of Shakespeare has anything to say to them. * Sixteenth Century Journal * Reduces the scale of dramatic guidework to a more portable and performable unit of study...It is clear that Reading Shakespeare's Soliloquies has great value for those teaching Shakespeare in a conservatory setting. Its wider importance, though, is in demonstrating that the soliloquy's full uses and effects depend upon putting it under such exquisitely three-dimensional scrutiny. * Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 * Amply demonstrates why Shakespeare's soliloquies deserve attention, not only as dramatic instruments within the plays themselves, but as exceptional literary phenomena, with a heritage of their own. * Times Literary Supplement *
