The Accents on Shakespeare series provides short, powerful 'cutting edge' accounts of and comments on new developments in Shakespeare studies. The volumes either 'apply' theory, or broaden and adapt it in order to connect with concrete teaching concerns. In the process, they also reflect and engage with the major developments in Shakespearean studies of the last ten years.
'Accents on Shakespeare proves that Shakespeare is still where the challenging work in English is being done. These sparky and authoritative books reopen some of the unresolved questions and move us on to new ones.'
Alan Sinfield, University of Sussex, UK
'Accents on Shakespeare is shaping up as everything a streetwise series of books on the Bard should be: engaged, imaginative, heretical and occasionally outrageous. No one who aims to have their finger on the pulse of Shakespeare studies can afford to ignore it.'
Kiernan Ryan, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
'I have personally purchased and studied every one of the new Accents on Shakespeare volumes ... and repeatedly turn to them as resources for my own research and teaching. My students - graduate and undergraduate alike - find them invaluable, as I do. They are remarkably comprehensive, timely, and informative, and an essential way to keep current with the fundamental ideas in Shakespearean criticism.'
Arthur F. Kinney, Thomas W. Copeland Professor of Literary History, University of Massachusetts, USA
