To this end the author employs a variety of standpoints and techniques, and taken together, these chapters present a lively and coherent view of Shakespeare's techniques, concerns, and development. This title will be of interests to students of literature and drama. No DJ; Annotated; Ex Library. Some pencil marking of paragraphs; blue boards with title in silver on spine. (ISBN: 9780691062327).
