Shakespeare by Kiernan Ryan
First published in 1989, this 3rd edition, a critical study of Shakespeare, has been revised, updated and expanded with new material, so it is twice the size of the first edition.
From reviews of the first edition: 'It is impossible to do justice to the compacted richness of Ryan's Study..The book is certainly a major contribution to Shakespeare studies.' - The Times 'Already acclaimed by leading Shakespearean critics, this book effects a timely reorientation of Shakespeare studies. With insight and accessibility, Ryan argues that literary criticism- both on the left and the right- has worked to fix Shakespeare as a political conservative. The reality, says Ryan, is that Shakespeare constantly pushes towards new dispensations and new liberties, which can be imagined in plays but not yet apprehended. A thrilling polemic.' The Guardian
