Opis

Explores Shakespeare's plays in their most immediate context: the hundreds of plays known to original audiences, but lost to us.

Recenzje

'This is a productive and helpful enterprise, which McInnis reaches through a series of skillful, careful, and innovative readings … This refreshing book, which balances meticulous attention to detail with imagination and creativity, deserves to be widely read. That the book is relatively inexpensive for a new academic hardback should help it get the attention it deserves.' Eoin Price, Early Theatre
