Description: In this collection of new critical work, experts offer the results of their curiosity, indicating why problems, omissions or dissatisfaction led to their re-thinking or expanding upon themes set by Shakespeare. They consider sources, history, texts, animals and posterity as they address the connections between Montaigne and Shakespeare, Cymbaline in genre and model, the art of misquoting, Henry VIII as Shakespeare's "favorite" play, Catholicism and conversion in Love's Labor's Lost, watching as reading, the art of editorship, self-control and the human/animal, sheepishness, time in the Sonnets, universal culture, and the pitfalls and peaks in performance criticism.
