Reviews

An indispensable resource covering both established and emergent scholarship, this volume is also an immensely practical guide to the field. Commendably too, this handbook demonstrates that profound erudition, scholarly illumination, and pioneering research can be presented as an accessible pedagogical intervention. -- Dympna C. Callaghan, William L. Safire Professor in Modern Letters, Syracuse University, USA If you have ever wondered exactly why colleagues become so excited about Shakespeare textual studies, Lukas Erne's Research Handbook will give you the answer. He has assembled an immensely impressive array of textual scholars and all of them write in a way that is both profoundly scholarly and consistently accessible. More than yet another collection of chapters, this really is a reference guide, a how-to handbook that will make its readers as enthusiastic as its authors. -- Peter Holland, University of Notre Dame, USA As Lukas Erne notes, this is a perfect moment to reflect on Shakespearean textual studies. He has assembled a genuinely international cast of the very best textual scholars for a collection that is both timely and exemplary. If you seek a precise and engaging snapshot of the current state of play in the field, you're in the right place. -- Gordon McMullan, Professor of English and Director of the London Shakespeare Centre, King's College London, UK

The collection will be of immeasurable benefit to readers. * Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen *
