Reviews for Harrying: Skills of Offense in Shakespeare´s Henriad
Harrying will no doubt surprise and delight readers with the unrivaled close readings Berger is famous for, but what makes this book so resonant is that it works this critical practice across a series of interlocking plays, turning Shakespeare's histories into a powerful 'tetralogical echo chamber.' The effects are dazzling.
