Reviews

This companion covers a truly impressive amount of ground: its myriad approaches and wide-ranging chapters prompting us to think differently (both as researchers and teachers) about the classicism of Shakespeare's own works, their various theatrical and literary contexts and their enduring and evolving legacies. - Katherine Heavey, University of Glasgow - Cahiers Elisabethains
