York Notes Companions: Shakespeare and Renaissance Drama Summary

York Notes Companions: Shakespeare and Renaissance Drama by Hugh Mackay

This companion brings Renaissance drama to life by considering such classic plays as Hamlet, Othello and Dr Faustus from the perspective of contemporary theatre-goers.

Discussions of Shakespeare's masterpieces are accompanied by examinations of the work of lesser known playwrights and commentators, while chapters on Madness and Subjectivity, Rhetoric and Performance and Nation-Building provide a variety of key critical perspectives.

About Hugh Mackay

He has a paper on 'Lust's Dominion and the Readmission of the Jews', published in the Review of English Studies, and has co-organised and presented at several conferences.
