- Description: The epigraph to this interesting volume on Shakespeare's sources is T.S. Eliot's comment in The Sacred Wood that the "good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn" (125). This is a fitting start to a book which takes as its task to show how "Shakespeare, like Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream, is a weaver" (1), creating new stories and images from old.

- Description: This slim volume produced by Robert F. Fleissner addresses some of the connections between Shakespeare and Africa. His lengthy Foreword, in which he sets out, chapter by chapter, the contents of the book (mainly discussions on the identity and race of Shakespeare’s Dark Lady), provides a cogent, flowing argument that, in many ways, presents a clearer picture of Fleissner’s work on race and Shakespeare than the work as a whole, which is pieced together from his many years of research.

- Description: As the preface makes clear, Shakespeare's Globe Revisited is designed as a tribute to the rebuilding, in the 1990s, of the Globe theatre on London's Bankside. It is described by the editors, Ronnie Mulryne and Margaret Shewring, as "one of the most imaginative projects of recent decades" (11). In particular they acknowledge the vision of Sam Wanamaker and architect Theo Crosby, who worked together to see their dream of a working Globe come to fruition.
