Recenzje

'In this absorbing, passionate book, Ewan Fernie ranges through the histories (and geographies) of Shakespearean appropriation, and offers insightful readings of some of the plays' characters, in an effort to inspire contemporary audiences to revive Shakespeare's liberating political potential now … It is hard not to experience a profound admiration for Fernie's work …' Spenser Review
