Shakespeare Survey Online Shakespeare Survey is a yearbook of Shakespeare studies and production. Since 1948 Survey has published the best international scholarship in English and many of its essays have become classics of Shakespeare criticism. Each volume is devoted to a theme, or play, or group of plays; each also contains a section of reviews of that year's textual and critical studies, and of the year's major British performances. The virtues of accessible scholarship and a keen interest in performance, from Shakespeare's time to our own, have characterised the journal from the start. The books are illustrated with a variety of Shakespearean images and production photographs. Shakespeare Survey Online makes all issues of the Survey, including over 90% of the original images, available online for the first time. The latest volume, Shakespeare's English Histories and their Afterlives (Volume 63), has been added to the collection as part of the latest update to Cambridge Collections Online. There are various ways of searching for topics and articles within Shakespeare Survey Online. All the essays have been keyworded to help you to find discussions of a particular play, group of plays, topic or performance venue. There are nearly 200 of these keywords or themes, available from a drop-down menu to the right of your screen under the 'browse' option. When you have selected your preferred theme, all the articles dealing with that theme will be listed on the left side of the screen for you to access. If you click on one of these, the finder takes you to the top of that article. | |
