Advance praise: 'Ewan Fernie's writing is, as always, invigorating and original, powerful and thoughtful. In familiar areas, he always has much that is new to say. In unfamiliar ones, he sends us off, eager to read what intrigues him.' Peter Holland, McMeel Family Professor in Shakespeare Studies, University of Notre Dame, Indiana
