Now offered as a digital collection for the first time, Manchester Shakespeare offers an abundance of essential scholarly texts including original papers, essays and critiques of Shakespeare’s works as well as his contemporaries such as Spenser, Kyd, Marlowe and Lyly.

Not of an age, but for all time… Our new collection provides new and significant commentary on all aspects of Shakespeare’s work, drawing on not only the written word, but Shakespeare in performance, in historical and cultural contexts, and in relation to critical theory.

Manchester Shakespeare is hosted exclusively on Manchester University Press’s new digital content site, manchesterhive. Click the site logo to find out more.
