This four-volume "Companion to Shakespeare's Works, " compiled as a
single entity, offers a uniquely comprehensive snapshot of current
Shakespeare criticism.
Brings together new essays from a mixture of younger and more
established scholars from around the world - Australia, Canada,
France, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Examines each of Shakespeare's plays and major poems, using all the
resources of contemporary criticism, from performance studies to
feminist, historicist, and textual analysis.
Volumes are organized in relation to generic categories: namely the
histories, the tragedies, the romantic comedies, and the late
plays, problem plays and poems.
Each volume contains individual essays on all texts in the relevant
category, as well as more general essays looking at critical issues
and approaches more widely relevant to the genre.
Offers a provocative roadmap to Shakespeare studies at the dawning
of the twenty-first century.
This companion to Shakespeare's histories contains original
essays on every history play from "Henry VI" to "Henry V" as well
as fourteen additional articles on such topics as censorship in
Shakespeare's histories, the relation of Shakespeare's plays to
other dramatic histories of the period, Shakespeare's histories on
film, the homoerotics of Shakespeare's history plays, and nation
formation in Shakespeare's histories.
