This collection of essays by Douglas Jefferson from various periods
of his distinguished career and by fellow academics writing in
response to his work represents a novel dialogic form of literary
criticism. In his essays ranging from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" to the
"Canon", Jefferson is always stimulating and engaging, while
offering nuanced and informed readings of his chosen texts.
Replying to Jefferson's work, contemporary critics have variously
extended his ideas, disclosing new ways of reading texts in the
light of current debate and more theoretical developments, or have
adopted a more discursive strategy in using ideas derived from
Jefferson's essays to provoke further explorations. Douglas
Jefferson (1912-2001) spent virtually his entire academic life at
the University of Leeds, starting as an undergraduate in the School
of English in 1930, and interrupted only by his studies at the
University of Oxford (Merton College), where he gained a B.Litt in
1937, and his educational services in Egypt during the Second World
War. His was a career remarkable for distinguished service to his
profession, comprising not only an extensive range of publications
on writers from John Dryden to Iris Murdoch but in the care with
which he nurtured and encouraged generations of students and
colleagues both at home and abroad in the study of English
literature.
