New Yorker: "Garber is appealingly undogmatic, deploying insights from textual scholarship, post-colonial theory, and Elizabethan stage history, without being beholden to any single approach....[T]he individual essays display scrupulous and subtle close reading." |

| Details: |
The always surprising Harvard professor Marjorie Garber turns her attention from such topics as cross-dressing, dogs, and real estate to return to one of her more academic passions: Shakespeare. Drawing on her perennially popular lectures, Garber presents in a cogent, readable series of essays the meager available information about her subject, showing how his life and experiences informed his art, and how he changed over the years as a playwright. She then looks at the individual plays, exploring language, theme, plot, and character in a traditional and informed but highly original and illuminating work of criticism. |
