Rezensionen

"In this volume Cary DiPietro and Hugh Grady have assembled a rich array of scholars to display the relevance of Shakespeare through sustained presentist readings of his work. ... Shakespeare and the Urgency of Now will be of interest to scholars working on contemporary Shakespeares." (Rachel Willie, Modern Language Review, Vol. 111 (3), July, 2016)
