The average rating for Shakespeare's England based on 2 reviews is 3 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-08 00:00:00 Gordon Labatte Johnson's is a useful book on politics and public performance (in and out of the theaters, this breadth of consideration being very much a strength) during the Exclusion Crisis, but its writing lacks rigor in various regards, many instances of which should have been addressed through editing. A basic example: "French and popery are interchangeable adjectives in the Exclusion rhetoric" (58). "Popery" was never an adjective, always a noun.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-01-06 00:00:00 Terri Arthur I found Chapter 7, which discusses "A Doll's House" very helpful to my overall understanding of the impact the play would have had on its contemporary viewer. Moi's discussion of Nora as the human being versus doll (automaton) is going to be very helpful when unpacking this play with my AP Lit students.
