In Shakespeare After All, Marjorie Garber--professor of English and
director of the Humanities Center at Harvard University--gives us a
magisterial work of criticism, authoritative and engaging, based on
her hugely popular lecture courses at Yale and Harvard over the
past thirty years. Richly informed by Shakespearean scholarship of
the latter half of the twentieth century, this book offers
passionate and revealing readings of all thirty-eight of
Shakespeare's plays, in chronological sequence, from The Two
Gentlemen of Verona to The Two Noble Kinsmen. With erudition
lightly carried, Garber illumines the overarching patterns and lush
details of the plays, closely attentive to what matters most in
Shakespeare: language, theme, plot, and character.
Here are fresh meditations on plays we have come to know and love,
such as Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth,
Othello, The Taming of the Shrew, Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of
Venice, and The Tempest, and fruitful engagements with others not
often read or produced--Henry VI, Parts 1, 2, and 3; The Merry
Wives of Windsor; King John; Timon of Athens; Pericles; and
Cymbeline. Garber affords us a rare chance to trace Shakespeare's
stylistic development as a writer of verse and prose, an artful
designer of dramatic scenarios and revelations, a masterly sketcher
of woman and man, and a keen observer of society high and low.
Complete with a comprehensive introduction to Shakespeare's life
and times and an extensive bibliography, Shakespeare After All is a
landmark work that enlarges our understanding of the most
celebrated writer of all time.
