What People are Saying About This

Kiernan Ryan

A genuinely readable, user-friendly edition of Coleridge’s lectures on Shakespeare was long overdue. As the first modern edition of these indispensable lectures to provide exactly the right amount of expert commentary and explication without being obtrusive, this is destined to become the standard, unrivalled edition for students, lecturers and the general reader alike.
