Tragic Conditions in Shakespeare: Disinheriting the Globe (Rethinking Theory)
|
Review
An engaged, thorough, and responsible reading of a problem of ongoing importance. On nearly every page there’s a surprising insight, a controversial and provocative assertion, a rereading of something familiar that makes it newly rich and strange.
(W. B. Worthen, Columbia University 2010)Professor Kottman has written a thoughtful and thought-provoking book. It addresses very major issues, in what is for the most part quite an original way, and I found much of what I read illuminating.
(Joost Daalder Review of English Studies )Calm, methodical, yet urgent humanist philosophy.
(Emma Smith Comparative Drama )Reading this book is like following an intensely intellectual yet personal lecture... Essential.

Having spent much of my 73 years immersed in the poetry of Shakespeare and the writings of his critics and commentators, it is a rare moment when I find something truly new, refreshing and thought-provoking. This book provided one of those moments.
