Reviews
Elegantly written...a ground-breaking study, which shows how Shakespeare the technician sought always to expand the mental possibilities for the actors. Ralph Berry, Contemporary Review Rarely has so much new and exciting information about Shakespeare been gathered in a single study. The challenges of this book for how we conceive of, teach, write about and perform Shakespeare will surely be felt for years to come. Douglas Bruster, The Review of English Studies ...undeniably of major importance. Paul Dean English Studies stunningly fresh and rewarding...among the field's finest scholarly monographs this year. Paul Whitfield White, Studies in English Literature ...a groundbreaking new study...The consideration of characters and their textual construction is a revelation. ..The book is exactly as scrupulous and thorough as the subject deserves...For professional Shakespeareans in the theatre or the university, it is required reading. Tom Cornford, Around the Globe this is a lucid and persuasive study that successfully infuses academic Shakespeare with the vibrancy and insecurity of live performance: Shakespeare's actors had to play their parts now, perilously in the present. Peter J. Smith, THES
