Riassunto:

This book demonstrates the artful means by which Shakespeare responded to the competing claims of acting and writing in the Elizabethan era.

Recensione: Review of the hardback: 'Learned, readable, and provocative, this extraordinary book brings the range and depth of Robert Weimann's and Douglas Bruster's rich knowledge of the early modern stage to bear on a theoretically engaging reading of the interplay between dramatic writing and stage performance.' W. B. Worthen, University of Michigan

Review of the hardback: 'This convincing study radically extends our understanding of the productive interplay between text and theatre in Shakespeare's work. Weimann and Bruster brilliantly analyse the actor-playwright's skill in turning to advantage the potentially uneasy relation between the imagination of the author and the material reality of his actors.' Catherine Belsey, University of Wales, Swansea

Review of the hardback: '... essential reading for anyone teaching or studying Shakespeare, as well as those working in the theatre ...' Robert Hornback
