There are also studies of his work in relation to the English spoken at the time, his use and knowledge of music, and his sources. Other essays cover the national and social background. A final group touches on the text of the plays, Shakespearian criticism and scholarship, and Shakespeare in the theatre.

Lo leí porque no conseguí introducción a Shakespeare de Harrison. Es my bueno aunque algunos capítulos ( de autores distintos) son mejores que otros. Me resultó interesante como lectura en pandemia, leer sobre los problemas que las pestes traían al teatro de la época. Mientras las obras se clausuraban , los actores se iban de gira por otras provincias :) También que el público era capaz de manifestar claramente su opinión dura te la representación. Se podía llegar tarde, no prestar atención a la obra, indicar que no te gusta y retirarse antes que termine. El capituló sobre el marco social y ls fuentes de Shakespeare son de los mejores. Seguiré intentando conseguir el de Harrison.
