The Arden Research Handbook of Contemporary Shakespeare Criticism
is a wide-ranging, authoritative guide to research on critical
approaches to Shakespeare by an international team of leading
scholars. It contains chapters on 20 specific critical practices,
each grounded in analysis of a Shakespeare play. These practices
range from foundational approaches including character studies,
close reading and genre studies, through those that emerged in the
1970s and 1980s that challenged the preconceptions on which
traditional liberal humanism is based, including feminism, cultural
materialism and new historicism. Perspectives drawn from
postcolonial, queer studies and critical race studies, besides more
recent critical practices including presentism, ecofeminism and
cognitive ethology all receive detailed treatment. In addition to
its coverage of distinct critical approaches, the handbook contains
various sections that provide non-specialists with practical help:
an A–Z glossary of key terms and concepts, a chronology of major
publications and events, an introduction to resources for study of
the field and a substantial annotated bibliography.
