ACCLAIM FOR MARJORIE GARBER'S Shakespeare After All “A return to the times when the critic's primary function was as an enthusiast, to open up the glories of the written word for the reader.” —The New York Times “A lifetime of learning has gone into the production of this massive volume.… Garber is sensitive to significant details in the language … and she gives cogent accounts of historical contexts.” —The Boston Globe “She lights up the plays with insights you'll kick yourself for not having had first.” —Newsweek “A delight…. Polished, thoughtful, eminently useful…. Not only a wonderful guide to the plays, but just as importantly, it's a guide to the reading of the plays…. Garber writes elegantly and insightfully…. The reader seeking an informed guide to each play simply can not do better.” —The Providence Journal “Impossibly full … engagingly written…. It fills you with gratitude on virtually every page. Here, in a book, is a Shakespearean course for our time.” —The Buffalo News “An absolute joy…. Extremely lively and witty…. Remarkable…. Authoritative.” —Tucson Citizen “Stimulating and informative.” —The Charlotte Observer “Garber keeps her eye on the goal, to illuminate the experience of reading and seeing the plays, and achieves it with quiet efficiency.” —San Jose Mercury News “A commanding performance, not to be missed….
