Reviews
"[A] highly readable introduction to the Life and Works, in the best tradition of that ancient and worthy genre. It is furthermore a piece of New Historical criticism at its sober best ... With such impressive scholarly credentials, [Callaghan] is more than well equipped to provide original and perceptive introductions to Shakespeare's life and works. But this is no mere mechanical life-and-works primer, like the dozens already available on the market and on college bookshop shelves ... This [is a] substantial work of criticism, presented as an introduction to Shakespeare the man and his work, but amounting to considerably more than mere introduction. Dympna Callaghan meets admirably the challenge she set herself in the bold question of the title: who was William Shakespeare? For she shows us very well indeed who he was - and is - and why."( Cercles , 1 June 2014) Featured in Times Literary Supplement - 25 October 2013 "Dympna Callaghan's lucid and well-structured textbook allows students to see the plays in their context." ( Times Literary Supplement , 25 October 2013) "The book should interest readers who are curious about Shakespeare's life and the social and political history of England. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers." ( Choice , 1 August 2013)
