A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

An account of Shakespeare's last plays in relation to the idea of 'late style'.

Revue de presse

Reviews of the hardback: 'Gordon McMullan's Shakespeare and the Idea of Late Writing is easily the best critical study of Shakespeare to appear this year. Packed with insights both theoretical and historical - and ranging from Edmond Malone to Henry James to Edward Said - it's the kind of book that literary scholars (as well as art and music historians) will want to keep close at hand.'  James Shapiro, Columbia University and author of 1599

'Inevitably, the book raises many questions, some explicit and others by implication. ... the very openness to questioning is one of the book's strengths, alongside its deft handling of an extensive and surprisingly diverse range of ideas, its refusal to follow a single intellectual path, and the skill with which it moves across disciplinary boundaries. It also demonstrates an elegance and modesty too often lacking in many discussions of complicated ideas. All this, and its open-mindedness, make it a very provocative, and a very important, book.'
