Reviews

Amost impressive achievement...it deserves and will attract a wide readership, offering as it does a very original and compelling insight into modern German cultural, intellectual and political history.' Dr Peter Monteath, Associate Professor in History, Flinders University, Adelaide Ahighly readable and original piece of cultural history that breaks new ground by revealing the political - that is, antisemitic - dimension of the Shakespeare play. Based on painstaking research and mainly German secondary literature, [it] is the most current work in English on this subject. It is not just about the stage, however. It is a very special history of antisemitism in Germany during this period, charting the twists and turns of the play's interpretation. For that reason, it will appeal to all historians of modern Germany.' Dr Dirk Moses, Senior Lecturer in History, University of Sydney
