Shakespeare's RomancesProduct Description
The "New Casebook" offers a collection of lively and innovative contemporary criticism on Shakespeare's romances: "Pericles", "Cymbeline", "The Winter's Tale" and "The Tempest". The essays gathered in this volume exemplify the current diversity in critical practice and cover a broad range of topics including gender, religious politics, nationalism, topography, colonialism and "medico-moral" discourse. Alison Thorne's detailed introduction locates the romances in their generic, critical and historical contexts.
