Description
The ten lectures presented here were given consecutively at the British Academy's annual Shakespeare Lecture over the years 1980-89. This lecture series has been going since 1911 with this volume being the fourth 'collection' of essays. As the papers are grouped by the years given there is no volume theme as such, apart from that of Shakespeare himself.
