The influence of hew historicism and cultural materialism are also taken into account, and a full descritpion of performances of the play on stage, film and television tackles the issue of black/white casting of the main characters.

For the scholar, the notes are incredibly thorough, describing the way the poetry is scanned as well as the differing texts in the Quartos and Folios. More information than the casual reader would need, perhaps, but a definitive text for someone who wants ... Read More
