Description
Hard Looks: Masculinities, Spectatorship and Contemporary Consumption by Sean Nixon explores the critical history of Shakespeare's play as text and theater. Spanning over two centuries, from Samuel Johnson in 1765 to a review of the Royal Shakespeare Company production in 1991, this collection of essays examines three key aspects of the play: the love/friendship debate. Through a range of perspectives, Nixon sheds light on how the play has been interpreted and reinterpreted over time. This critical history provides valuable insights into the cultural and social contexts that have shaped our understanding of Shakespeare's work. By examining the evolution of criticism, Nixon offers a nuanced exploration of the complexities of masculinity, spectatorship, and contemporary consumption in relation to Shakespeare's play.
