Shakespeare has seldom been read with a combination of such tact and quantificatory precision ... Morgan's learning and ingenuity are considerable, and he shows beyond any shadow of a doubt that attentiveness to the conventions of conversational exchange (and to the occasions when these conventions are ignored) offers a fresh way of comprehending the plays.
Oliver Morgan is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Cambridge and a College Lecturer at Magdalene College. His research focuses on dialogue, both in the sense of fictionalised conversation (as in a play) and in the sense of literary exchange (as in an answer-poem or aparody).
