This collection of essays is aimed at readers who are looking for new ways of thinking about Shakespeare’s most controversial play and new ways of thinking about their own practice as critics.
This collection of essays is aimed at readers who are looking for new ways of thinking about Shakespeare’s most controversial play and new ways of thinking about their own practice as critics. The collection offers a spectrum of the more recent writings on the play that opens up its historical, cultural, and political significance and also serves to demonstrate some of the ways in which contemporary criticism is both based upon critical theory and is also about the practice of criticism.
Martin Coyle is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Wales, Cardiff.
