At times considered one of Shakespeare's weaker plays, it is often dismissed or marginalized; however, developments in feminist, ecocritical and new historicist criticism have opened up new perspectives and this collection of 18 essays by top Shakespeare scholars sheds fresh light on the play. The detailed introduction by Phyllis Rackin and Evelyn Gajowski provides a historical survey of the play and ties into an evolving critical and cultural context. The book's sections look in turn at female community\/female agency; theatrical alternatives; social and theatrical contexts; desire\/sexuality; nature and performance to provide a contemporary critical analysis of the play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvelyn Gajowski\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of English at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhyllis Rackin\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of English Emerita, University of Pennsylvania, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 23, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48711022379257,"sku":"9781138377875","price":119.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/O1z_NoAJQe9781138377875.webp?v=1784979985","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-merry-wives-of-windsor-new-critical-essays-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
