This is a welcome contribution to the discussion of the explanatory capacity of postmodern vocabulary, which has come to be accepted in professional criticism of Early Modern literature. Here, the authors investigate the (perhaps unwitting) literal application of the metaphors of once-fashionable postmodern critics (Derrida, Foucault, and Lacan) to the texts of Spenser, Milton, and (especially) Shakespeare. This book is learned, clearly-written, and fair. - Stanley Stewart, Department of English, University of California, Riverside
