Quatri�me de couverture :

The York Notes Companion to Shakespeare and Renaissance Drama brings widely studied plays such as Hamlet, Othello and Dr Faustus to life for students, by considering them from the perspective of contemporary theatre-goers. Placing Shakespeare’s masterpieces in the social and historical contexts of the period and examining them alongside the work of his lesser known contemporaries, the Companion provides detailed commentaries on a range of plays, and guides students through key literary theories and debates. Connecting texts with their scholarly and historical contexts, this is essential reading for any student of Renaissance drama.

Each York Notes Companion provides:

Analysis of key texts and debates
Extended commentaries for further in-depth analysis of individual texts
Exploration of historical, social and cultural contexts
Annotations clarifying literary terms and events in history
Modern theoretical perspectives in practice
Timelines and annotated further reading
