Helen Scott's new book offers a brilliantly resourceful, sharply- argued account of Shakespeare's provocative romance and of its reception and influence over more than four centuries. She shows with remarkable insight how the play's original historical and political significance relates to its continuing importance for dramatists, poets, and fiction-writers committed to challenging the injustices of neoliberal capitalism. - William Keach, Professor Emeritus of English, Brown University
