The modernist Shakespeare : critical texts in a material world
Interpretations of Shakespeare's works have varied from age to age. This book shows how and why modernist readings of the text have emerged from the increasingly closed academic profession. It argues that the readings of Knight and Tillyard are still influential among post-modernist critics today.
