Shakespeare's Letters - Stewart, Alan (Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, and International Director of the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, London)

Shakespeare's Letters shows how and why Shakespeare put letters on stage in virtually all of his plays. Showing the very different uses to which letters were put in Shakespeare's time, this book throws new light on some of his most familiar dramas. Includes new readings of Hamlet, King Lear, and The Merchant of Venice.
