Anne Barton's essays on Shakespeare and his contemporaries are
characterized by their combination of intelligence, humanity and
elegance. In this linked but wide-ranging collection she addresses
such diverse issues as Shakespeare's trust (and mistrust) of
language, the puzzle of Falstaff's inability to survive in a
genuinely comic world, the unconsummated marriage of Imogen and
Posthumus in Cymbeline, Shakespeare's debt to Livy and Machiavelli
in Coriolanus, 'hidden' kings in the Tudor and Stuart history play,
comedy and the city, and deer-parks as places of liberation and
danger in English drama up to and beyond the Restoration. Professor
Barton looks at both major and neglected plays of the period and
the ongoing dialogue between them. Taken together the essays reveal
a remarkable range of reference and depth of insight, together with
an increasing emphasis on historical and social contexts.
