Books by Graham Holderness

A study that describes and chronicles the mythology of Venice that was formulated in the Middle Ages. It focuses on how that mythology was employed by Shakespeare to explore themes of conversion, change, and metamorphosis.

One in a series on Shakespeare's original texts, including facsimile pages, this version of "The Taming of a Shrew" is claimed to be, in some ways, the most authentic version of the play that we have. Included are an introduction, notes, and a theoretical, historical and contextual critique.
