Shakespeare'S Late Style. - Hardcover

Review of the hardback: 'McDonald's analysis is both original and convincing. He is an attuned close reader, combining sensitivity to tone and metre with precision.' The Times Literary Supplement

Review of the hardback: '... what stands out above all from Shakespeare's Late Style is the critic's sheer delight in the language of the plays, his determination to investigate the mechanics of their verbal force while never losing sight of the pleasure and frisson of their effect, and the sheer clarity of description that his enthusiasm brings with it. McDonald's book feels like a genuine labour of love; it is also a tour de force, one that all Shakespeareans should read and absorb if we are to know what we really mean when we refer to the playwright's 'late style'.' Gordon McMullan, King's College London
