Recensioner i media

The particular strength of Pamela Bickley and Jenny Stevens’ thorough guide to the study of Shakespeare’s plays is its targeting. Their discussion of each of the fourteen plays is framed via the introduction of a theoretical method and an exploration of Shakespeare’s language, thus offering a critical tool-kit aimed squarely and effectively at undergraduates and ambitious sixth formers . . . Bickley and Stevens know their audience and address it clearly and unpatronisingly. Everyone who wants, or is just beginning, to study English literature at university would benefit from this book.
