Review # 1 was written on 2019-11-25 00:00:00 Michael Kalkbrenner This is an invaluable text for those of us who are working on plays from the 1800s in Spain. I am certain that I will return to this many, many times in the next few years for information about all sorts of writers and their works. It is not only thorough, but also a quick and well-thought out read.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-31 00:00:00 Denver Love The author places the plays of the Jacobean period within the context of the society and politics of the time, thus refuting the idealist interpretation that the individuals in the plays are some sort of essential humans with eternal values. In other words it promotes a cultural materialism vs an idealist white European male humanism. For that it is excellent. However my Shakespeare chauvinism shows in that I find the analyses of the Shakespeare plays ever so much more interesting than that of the other plays. I wish he'd chosen more Shakespeare.
