'One of the collection's strongest features is its organization [...] which makes the collection feel like a unified whole, a rarity in books of essays. Particularly effective is the 'conversation' between Cary Mazer and Tiffany Stern in their respective pieces concerning historicizing spontaneity... Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, professionals.' Choice 'The book offers a series of different perspectives on the complex relationships, between two of Shakespeare's most compelling characters.' The Shakespeare Blog 'Investigating the relationship between actor and character, between actor and audience, and between characters in plays, these essays speak to one another in interesting ways and engage in an ongoing conversation about Shakespearean character that marries theory with theater practice. The collection will be of interest to Shakespeare critics, scholars of performance criticism, and theater professionals.' RQ Winter 'The virtues of this volume are many ... This dialogue is not serendipitous, but a result of editorial care. The essays also demonstrate that academic prose can be smart, stimulating, and pleasurable; that scholarly debates can be passionate but civil; and above all, that character-based approaches are integral to our engagement with Shakespearean selves in a postmodern world.' 16th Century Journal
