This is a comprehensive critical analysis of the most important Shakespearean critics, editors, actors and directors. This volume focuses on Shakespeare's reception by nineteenth-century novelists. "Great Shakespeareans" offers a systematic account of those figures who have had the greatest influence on the interpretation, understanding and cultural reception of Shakespeare, both nationally and internationally. In this volume, leading scholars assess the contribution of Sir Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, George Eliot and Thomas Hardy to the afterlife and reception of Shakespeare and his plays. Each substantial contribution assesses the double impact of Shakespeare on the figure covered and of the figure on the understanding, interpretation and appreciation of Shakespeare, provide a sketch of their subject's intellectual and professional biography and an account of the wider cultural context, including comparison with other figures or works within the same field.

Industry Reviews

Reviewed in Cambridge Quarterly, vol 40, no 4. As in Shakespeare, readers can appreciate the ironies offered up by more than one point of view...The general editors Peter Holland and Poole state that the purpose of the series should not be merely to demonstrate Shakespeare's vast following, but also to show how those followers helped us understand Shakespeare. I certainly agree that the latter is worth undertaking. -- Alexander Welsh, Yale University Victorian Studies/Vol. 5, No. 22
