摘要
This book offers a comprehensive, readable and authoritative introduction to the study of Shakespeare, by means of nineteen newly commissioned essays. An international team of prominent scholars provide a broadly cultural approach to the chief literary, performative and historical aspects of Shakespeare's work. They bring the latest scholarship to bear on traditional subjects of Shakespeare study, such as biography, the transmission of the texts, the main dramatic and poetic genres, the stage in Shakespeare's time and the history of criticism and performance. In addition, authors engage with more recently defined topics: gender and sexuality, Shakespeare on film, the presence of foreigners in Shakespeare's England and his impact on other cultures. Helpful reference features include chronologies of the life and works, illustrations, detailed reading lists and a bibliographical essay.

This volume follows three editorial ancestors from Cambridge--Harley Granville-Barker and G.B. Harrison's A Companion to Shakespeare Studies (1934), Kenneth Muir and Samuel Schoenbaum's A New Companion to Shakespeare Studies (CH, Dec'71), The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare Studies, ed. by Stanley Wells (CH, Sep'87)--and competes with A Companion to Shakespeare, ed. by David Scott Kastan (CH, Jun'99), which is concerned primarily with historical matters. The present volume offers 19 new essays that deal with both traditional subjects (biography, literary sources, textual transmission, dramatic and poetic genres, playhouses-players-playgoers, the history of criticism and performance, reference books) and more recently developed topics revealing the influence of new historicism and cultural materialism (gender and sexuality, foreigners in London and on stage, Shakespeare on film, Shakespeare's impact on other cultures). Like much postmodern scholarship (and unlike Cambridge's earlier Companions), some of the essays assume that the reader already knows the basics--e.g., biographical details--a faulty assumption about the sophistication of undergraduates, the audience most likely to need and use such a volume. The essays are generally readable and some are outstanding in their integrative perceptions, especially those on genres, outsiders, and cinema. Well indexed, with 14 illustrations and useful topical reading lists at the end of each essay. Beginners through graduate students. D. S. Gochberg Michigan State University
