Book Overview
This critical study by Frederick W. Kilbourne examines how Shakespeare's plays were adapted and modified for the stage, from the Restoration to the Victorian era. Kilbourne analyzes the changes made to Shakespeare's language, characters, and plots, and how they reflected the cultural and social values of each period. He also explores the controversies and debates generated by these alterations, and their impact on the reception and interpretation of Shakespeare's works.
