By examining the ways in which Shakespeare's contemplation of these issues has changed and grown, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the enduring relevance of his works. This book is part of the Oxford Shakespeare Topics series, written by an authority in its field to provide accessible yet original discussion on key aspects of Shakespeare criticism and scholarship.
