HOW TO DO THINGS WITH SHAKESPEARE

HOW TO DO THINGS WITH SHAKESPEARE

This is a companion to Shakespeare with a difference. Vive la differance!
DAVID BEVINGTON, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO

Doing things with literature: scholarly articles are not the only way to go. Aristotle uses a lecture, Horace a letter, Sidney a mock oration. Laurie Maguire and the contributors to this book engage in a genial conversation that invites students in. Like all good conversations, this one admits first-person candor, keeps things lively by changing the subject five times, welcomes disagreements, and waits for what the reader-listener is going to do in response.
BRUCE SMITH, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES

How To Do Things With Shakespeare Bewertungen

Maguire ... does not seek to force the essays into convenient (and conventional) critical boxes. Rather, she asks her contributors to open their essays with discussions of the questions and contexts that drove them to pursue their topic and then write about it. Highly recommended. (Choice Reviews, October 2008)
