Publisher's Synopsis
Shakespeare has never been more ubiquitous, not only on the stage and in academic writing, but in film, video and the popular press. Shakespeare has, for more than two centuries, served as the central text for analysis and explication, the foundation of the western literary cannon, and the measure of literary excellence. This set collects articles from over 40 different journals, arranged topically as readers for both students and scholars. Both current literary trends and scholarly traditions are respected in this comprehensive survey.
