Reviews
'This fine collection of nuanced essays complements - and often challenges - the dominant late twentieth-century rhetoric of eighteenth-century appropriation, shifting the debate from a prescriptive reading of Shakespeare as ideological tool to a more sophisticated discussion of skill and influence that relocates text, performance and reception in the literary, aesthetic and cultural history of the period through a consideration of the relationship with the past. It deserves a wide readership.' Catherine M.S. Alexander, University of Birmingham, UK 'Peter Sabor and Paul Yachnin's excellent collection... this fascinating set of essays surpasses its remit... illuminating the diverse ways of talking about Shakespeare in the eighteenth century, this collection will open up new conversations about his reception in the future.' Times Literary Supplement 'The cumulative weight and depth of this collection of essays underscore the ideological and social differences in the theatrical and literary environment of the Elizabethan age and the Enlightenment. This volume is a welcome addition to the spirit of enquiry so prevalent in its subject matter.' Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Theatre Research
