Reviews
'Using Shakespeare's Plays to Explore Education Policy Today is a lucid, well-informed and compelling account of the philosophical basis for market-based social policy in the field of education. In a bold challenge to contemporary orthodoxies in contemporary, market based political economy, Sophie Ward uses strong readings of Shakespeare's plays to discover the deep contradictions in this philosophy in order to reveal its dehumanizing effect on both students and teachers. Dr. Ward's book will be indispensable for anyone concerned with the current state of educational policy, a readership that includes everyone now engaged with teaching and research on Shakespeare.' Michael D. Bristol, Professor Emeritus, Department of English, McGill University, Canada
