Shakespeare Criticism in the Twentieth Century

Oxford Shakespeare Topics (General Editors Peter Holland and Stanley Wells) provide students, teachers, and interested readers with short books on important aspects of Shakespeare criticism and scholarship, including some general anthologies relating to Shakespeare.
From the end of Victorianism to the present day, Michael Taylor chronicles the twentieth century's intense and prolific engagement with Shakespeare, dramatist and poet, discussing all the major critics and the schools and movements of their times. While attuned to genuine differences of principle and methodology, the book illuminates connections, parallels, and echoes between and among the critical approaches.
