Lawrence Danson is Professor of English at Princeton University and
the author of Max Beerbohm and the Act of Writing and Wilde's
Intentions.
`Danson presents an interesting, useful, and often entertaining,
survey of the ways in which thinking about genres had dominated the
interpretation of the plays. In a book that is easily accessible to
the layman, he forces us to reconsider the meaning of the
traditional categories.'
The Virginia Quarterly Review
englightening arguments with distinguished predecessors ... gives a
brief and witty summary of modern genre theory ... vivid sense of
Shakespeare's plays ... scholarly sense and theatrical sensibility.
Tom Deveson, Around the Globe, Jan 01.
