At times considered one of his weaker plays, it is often dismissed or marginalised. However, critical developments in feminist, ecocritical and new historicist criticism have led to a revival of interest, and this collection of 18 essays by top Shakespeare scholars sheds new light on the play. The detailed introduction by Evelyn Gajowski and Phyllis Rackin provides a historical survey of the play and ties into an evolving critical and cultural context. The books sections look in turn at Textuality and Intertextuality; Feminism; Materialism; Psychoanalysis; Historicism; Ecocriticism; Presentism and Performance to provide a contemporary critical analysis of the play"-- Provided by publisher.
