Reviews
"mark[s] the emergence of a new and excitingly different voice in Shakespeare studies.--Andrew Hadfield, University of Sussex ""Renaissance Quarterly Vol. LXXI I I, No. 1"" Gray's penetrating eye for textual analysis, his vast and versatile erudition and his extreme sensitivity for the depths of the complexity of the human mind result in gripping new insights into two plays that, it turns out, we did not know as well as we thought.--Domenico Lovascio, Universit� degli Studi di Genova ""Early Modern Literary Studies"" Patrick Gray's new book pulls together a wealth of up-to-date Shakespeare criticism, classical literature, theology, philosophy and theory into a fluent argument which bears on the deepest possibilities of self and society. The lucid case it makes is still relevant today: Shakespeare's Roman plays point over the horizon towards a more sympathetic and communal culture.-- ""Ewan Fernie, The Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham Stratford-upon-Avon"""
