"The contributors are all of high caliber and the essays are adventurous, refreshing and wide-ranging in their appeal. The book will make a substantial contribution to the task of exploring Shakespeare as a critical thinker, whose dramas perform conceptual work of the first order. This is a break with both the dominance of ""theory"" and with historicism. --Sarah T Beckwith, Duke University"
