Summary: Shakespeare for our Time
Review: This is a smart, sophisticated, and stylish book that rescues Shakespeare from self-regarding criticism and delivers him safely to his readers. Kastan uses theory to move beyond theory, history to move beyond historicism; Shakespeare emerges here as interestingly as he has appeared in criticism for several decades. This is an important book that everyone who cares about Shakespeare should read.
