Coles Measure For Measure: Redressing The Balance: A Critical Reappraisal Of Shakespeare's Play at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Measure for Measure has proved unusually controversial since its earliest recorded performance in 1604. Adverse critical judgements and heavily-censored performances established a deep-seated and unjustified prejudice against the play. When we redress the balance, however, we discover so much to admire that was disregarded or under-emphasized for so many years.This study deploys thorough, impartial analysis of texts and contexts (including detailed reference to the play in performance) to explore possibilities and to suggest alternative interpretations. It concludes that no play in the Shakespearian canon reflects the socio-political complexities of twenty-first century society more fully and faithfully.Readers eager to approach Measure for Measure with an open mind, thoroughly exploring its subtleties, challenges, and delights, will encounter plentiful materials here more fully to develop their own conclusions about the play. The eight chapters offer a comprehensive endorsement of Shakespeare's most frequently-and unfairly-maligned play.
