Shakespeare's Sweet Thunder: Essays on the Early ComediesMichael J. Collins "This collection of essays on Shakespeare's early comedies has been designed to suggest how five four-hundred-year-old plays have been and might continue to be, in the words of Jonathan Miller, "assimilated to the interests of the present" to the men and women who encounter them, as texts or performances, in the last years of the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
