This revision of the successful Casebook first published in 1968, brings the book up-to-date for the 1990's, both with new criticism and with reviews of new productions. The detailed 'Critical Reactions before 1900' section is retained, including comment from such critics as John Dryden, Johnson and Coleridge, the 'Play in Performance' section includes some of the most recent performances and the 'Twentieth-century Criticism' section ranges over the varied work of such critics as A.C.Bradley, L.C.Knights, Kay Stockholder, Michael Long and Leonard Tennenhouse.
