Reception
[edit]This book has been positively received.
Newsweek's David Gates says: "Until somebody even smarter than Garber comes along with a 1,200 [page book], this is the indispensable introduction to the indispensable writer, [Shakespeare].[4]
The New Yorker says: "[Garber's] introduction is an exemplary account of what is known about Shakespeare and how his work has been read and regarded through the centuries, while the individual essays display scrupulous subtle close reading."[3]
