This book focuses on the two plays of Shakespeare that have generally contended for the title of 'greatest' among his works. Recent critical theorising has destabilised the texts and undermined the notion of 'greatness' or any consideration of the plays as works of art. Foakes takes issue with such theories and reconsiders textual revisions of the plays to recover a flexible sense of their artistry.Foakes, R. A. is the author of 'Hamlet Versus Lear Cultural Politics and Shakespeare's Art' with ISBN 9780521342926 and ISBN 0521342929.
