Rezensionen
'Fresh but informed, Chernaik's study will please both students and those who think they know more. The author brings characters alive in intelligent ways, deftly conjures memories of productions and films he has seen, and is particularly good at encapsulating competing critical accounts of these texts in a few pithy words ... a focussed but also panoramic reading of Shakespeare's history plays.' Michael Hattaway, University of Sheffield
