The Arden Shakespeare has provided a benchmark for textual interpretation on the stage and academically for over a century. Morning Star

[This book] represent[s] interesting developments in exploring the historical context and influence of the world's greatest dramatist. Morning Star

In a text rich with illustrations drawn from both the plays and Sonnets, Hawkes shows not only how Shakespeare was fully aware of the economic circumstances in which his work was being received but also how this awareness informed his writing. ... [A] wide-ranging and readable account. * Times Literary Supplement * The Arden Shakespeare has provided a benchmark for textual interpretation on the stage and academically for over a century. * Morning Star * David Hawkes's Shakespeare and Economic Theory is the most densely ambitious of the three, though its 88-page overview of economic theory (including classical economic terminology and Marxism, and summarizing the history of Marxist and anti-Marxist economic theory in Shakespeare studies) is itself a minor miracle of clarity and concision. -- Curtis Perry * Studies in English Literature *
