Description

This Routledge collection by Tom McAlindon presents a rigorous approach to Shakespeare scholarship, combining reprinted essays with original studies that challenge contemporary interpretative trends. The volume offers six interpretative examinations of major plays including Henry V, Coriolanus, The Tempest, and Doctor Faustus, paired with three critical essays that examine the methods and claims of radical postmodernist approaches to drama, particularly new historicism and cultural materialism. McAlindon defends close reading and historical contextualisation as essential tools for understanding Shakespeare and his contemporaries, providing scholars and students with an alternative perspective on how to approach early modern drama without surrendering intellectual rigour.
