The Merry Wives of Windsor has recently experienced a resurgence of
critical interest. At times considered one of Shakespeare's weaker
plays, it is often dismissed or marginalized; however, developments
in feminist, ecocritical and new historicist criticism have opened
up new perspectives and this collection of 18 essays by top
Shakespeare scholars sheds fresh light on the play. The detailed
introduction by Phyllis Rackin and Evelyn Gajowski provides a
historical survey of the play and ties into an evolving critical
and cultural context. The book's sections look in turn at female
community/female agency; theatrical alternatives; social and
theatrical contexts; desire/sexuality; nature and performance to
provide a contemporary critical analysis of the play.
