Reviews

[Wood’s] combination of different aspects such as psychology, identity, public sphere, etc. also has some interdisciplinary significance to the reception theories … Such an interdisciplinary approach not only enables Wood to discuss the reception problems with new perspectives but also to shift among different reception theories with ease … Besides some theoretical contributions, this book also has some practical significance. It can serve as a valuable reference for scholars who are keen on reception studies or Shakespeare performance studies, and the theoretical templates developed in the book are wealthy resources for students who seek a systematic introduction of response theories and fields for any further investigation. * Multicultural Shakespeare *
