Shakespeare's universality : here's fine revolution / Kiernan Ryan. - xvi, 141 pages ; 20 cm. - Shakespeare now! The Arden Shakespeare . - Shakespeare now!. Arden Shakespeare. .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Through close readings of a wide range of plays and poems, Kiernan Ryan's compelling polemic sets out to reclaim the idea of Shakespeare's timeless universality from reactionary and radical critics alike. Its argument is driven throughout by the belief that at this moment in history the need to recognise and activate the revolutionary potential of Shakespeare's drama is more urgent than ever.
