A vital collection for anyone who is studying Shakespeare. This handbook deftly covers the critical lenses that have been applied to Shakespeare's works in the past and provides a window into what is to come. * Ayanna Thompson, Arizona State University, USA * One of the strengths of this book is its scholarly comprehensiveness, which alone will render it indispensable for future researchers and committed students. Another is Its lucidity and accessibility. Yet even more significant is the way it situates Shakespeare in relation to the most fertile and exciting intellectual moment the university humanities have ever seen, and the likes of which we might not see again, given what's happening to higher education in the West. * Professor Jonathan Dollimore, formerly University of Sussex, UK * What this collection does do is open up possibilities of thinking differently and learning from others. The book is structured in a roughly chronological order, each chapter is useful in not only providing a history of each form of study but also clarifies important terms and offers a good bibliography for further study. Moreover, there are helpful appendices with a glossary and annotated bibliography ... In conclusion, this is an indispensable help for all critics, young and old. * Alicante Journal of English Studies * The Arden Research Handbook of Contemporary Shakespeare Criticism offers an extensive array of critical approaches to Shakespeare by some of the most distinguished international academics ... this book offers multi- and inter-disciplinary critical approaches and is an essential compendium for researchers and scholars, or indeed for anyone involved in Shakespeare studies. * Memoria di Shakespeare. A Journal of Shakespearean Studies *
