Klappentext zu „Reading Renaissance Drama “
Reading Renaissance Drama deals directly with the processes and problems inherent in reading plays, a genre far more indeterminate than fiction. It focuses on the expectations, hypotheses, and problems of readers as they interact sequentially with the text. Because the book preserves the stages of the reading process rather than subsuming them into a final interpretation of the text, it has special value for teaching. It demystifies literary analysis and promotes dynamic interaction with the text. Most important, the emphasis on process makes it possible to discriminate among conflicting critical opinions. Although the study emphasizes Renaissance drama, in particular Jonson, Middleton, and Marlowe, its strategies and perceptions are applicable to drama in general.

Rezension zu „Reading Renaissance Drama “
The authors are up-to-date without being merely trendy; they avoid buzz-words and mystical terminology, and they bring literary theory directly to bear on their chosen literature, stepping directly into the plays and relegating critics almost exclusively to the footnotes. (Linda Woodbridge, University of Alberta at Edmonton) Renaissance drama is a well defined and widely taught area of literary studies. Although there are numerous scholarly books in this field, there is none that I know which has the distinctly instructional bias of this one. While designed for use with a class, however, it is sound in its theory and intelligent in the reading of individual plays. (S.K. Heninger, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)
