Reviews

'an erudite but totally unpompous book, rare among its kind for its emphasis on living performance and therefore enjoyable by scholars, players and playgoers alike ... To rid Shakespeare of his elitist reputation and rediscover that Elizabethan sensitivity to language is a tall order, but Robert Hapgood's book arms one for the challenge in a readable and enjoyable way.' Harriet Walter, Independent 'Hapgood's discussions are unpretentiously sensible and illuminating in their theatrical insights, and the book is bracing in its wish to honour and understand what the author is willing to call Shakespeare's intention .' Times Literary Supplement 'Hapgood writes a clear and unpretentious prose, showing a keen awareness of the clues that actors and directors hunt for in rehearsal.' Notes and Queries

Hapgood caps his long critical involvement in Shakespearean theater with this eloquent and judicious study, rich in insight on most of the Shakespearean canon....A wise and illuminating book, strongly recommended for literature and theater collections. --Choice<br>
